Abstract
This commentary examines the tensions arising from the current international power struggle between the dominant system of copyright and the autonomous use of information. It does so by observing the social construction of a particular technology within a newly industrialized economy; specifically, this study analyses the case of a South Korean online music-swapping site called Soribada, which means ‘sound ocean’. Soribada is technically very similar to Napster, the popular US online music-sharing service.
