Nearly half of South Koreans pirate movies

   SEOUL, Dec. 18 (Yonhap) -- Nearly half of Internet users in South Korea, one of the most densely wired countries in the world, illegally download a full-length movie a week, a survey released Tuesday showed.

The survey of 2,358 on-line surfers, aged from 15 to 49, conducted by the Korean Film Council, said that as many as 47.3 percent had downloaded feature films through file sharing sites, by paying no money or less than 100 won (US$ 0.11) per film during the past year.
