Until today they were considering to implement, but finally they decided to abandon the business in South Korea. Nobody who set his profile to South Korea cannot upload video and cannot comments on Youtube. Now you got it?

However, this story indicates that contrary to the earlier report, Google (specifically YouTube) is *not* implementing such a system. I don't know their reasons or what legal analysis was involved, and I hesitate to base my understanding of this law on translated news reports. But I can't imagine why we would try to block South Koreans from contributing, whether or not they comply with the requirements described.
