Two defendants were sentenced not-guilty for pirating the Japanese musical CDs. The reasons were that the pirated songs had not been published in time in our country according to our Copyright Law and that Japan and R.O.C. are not copyright reciprocal countries. Therefore, the musical works of the complainant were not under the protection of our Copyright Law.
