SSLA, a Singaporean law firm, represented the copyright holders in seeking full names, home addresses, and national identification numbers associated with a list of IP addresses that they had. \u00a0Irene Tham from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/\">The Strait Times<\/a> called the High Court decision \u201ca landmark victory against tactics used by copyright holders fighting alleged piracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two cases involved Hollywood movie studios seeking to punish alleged downloaders of the movies <em>Fathers &amp; Daughters <\/em>and<em> Queen Of The Desert<\/em>. The Singapore High Court threw out both\u00a0cases and ruled that ISPs do not need to give up personal customer information. The Attorney General\u2019s Chamber said\u00a0that the cases were thrown out due to lack of \u201csufficient evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in 2016, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/court-rules-isps-not-need-give-information-alleged-pirates-copyright-infringers\/\">American court<\/a> ruled similarly and stopped a copyright holder from being able to compel personal information from ISPs about the registrant behind an IP address. However, the ISPs must still pass on copyright infringement letters, a popular tactic used by SSLA in Singapore as well that has cajoled settlements out of many alleged pirates.<\/p>\n<h2>VPN use is still legal and recommended in Singapore<\/h2>\n<p>In August of 2016, the Singapore\u2019s Ministry of Law and the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) asked for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/\">public comments<\/a> about VPN use during a review of the Copyright Act. The consultation period has ended but no amendment to the Copyright Act has been proposed as of yet. VPNs remain expressly legal in the south east Asian country, and with the addition of this newest High Court ruling,\u00a0experts think that copyright holders will have to resort to other methods besides sending threatening and often mistargeted letters to try and stop piracy.<\/p>\n<p>One such power, already added to the Copyright Act in 2014 as a powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Internet_censorship_in_Singapore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">censorship tool<\/a>, allows copyright holders to request the blocking of sites via the High Court and discourage copyright infringement\u00a0in that way. Some known torrenting and streaming sites have been blocked by this method already. While the Singapore High Court has protected its constituents\u2019 privacy, it is still important that Singaporeans use a VPN to ensure they have access to the open, uncensored Internet whether the regulatory climate is currently favorable or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The High Court of Singapore has stopped copyright holders from obtaining personal information on alleged copyright infringers and pirates from Singaporean telecoms and internet service providers (ISP).
