    Wow.

    User wants to watch a video, and the company hosting the video gets a bill. Companies move their servers out of South Korea. OK, but if speeds drop too much then they’ve invented a fine to punish companies for working around the law.

    I wonder if corruption or stupidity more likely lead to that law. Preferred this writeup of theirs BTW (clarity).
