User:NahidSultan/Bangladesh Facebook Case

Related to Angola Facebook Case: Commons and testwiki is being used as video sharing website mostly by Wikipedia Zero users. Users continuously uploading massive copyrighted videos and sharing the links of them through some Facebook groups and pages. Despite the block of some major ip ranges in Bangladesh and hundreds of accounts, it seems that this painful copyright violation cases aren’t ending anytime soon. Please note that the case itself doesn't necessarily mean that those people uploading copyrighted music/video(s) are only use Wikipedia Zero rather sometimes they use different ip ranges to upload them. But the people, who are downloading them mostly use zero Wikipedia in order to do that.

Wikimedia Bangladesh is also aware of this situation and they're trying to reach out to the admins of those facebook groups/pages individually. They've posted an awareness message from their Facebook page and in response to that, some pirate groups have announced that they stop uploading copyrighted movies/music videos. We're still receiving those uploads but it seems in a lower rate than usual. To be precise, recent uploads are mostly coming from only one/two Facebook user(s) through various usernames (even in another languages) based on the evidence of Facebook groups.
