According to an article published in the Daily Mail, the young man was caught in the act by the country’s surveillance services, and was executed by firing squad.
One student who bought a copy of the record was sentenced to life in prison, according to Radio Free Asia, while six others who watched the series were sentenced to five years of hard labor.

The law, enacted last year, provides for death as the maximum penalty for viewing, storing or distributing media from capitalist countries, particularly South Korea and the United States.
