"Without this law, our working environment - where creators are guaranteed of full rewards for their efforts - would've been destroyed," Seo Bum-gang, a webtoon artist who heads the Korea Webtoon Industry Association, told AFP.

In South Korea, it is also planning to charge commission on all content payments from October, ending an exemption where commissions were only payable for online games. Later this year Google plans to enforce globally a requirement for developers to use its payment system - with its 30 percent commission above a certain threshold - for in-app purchases. "This law will certainly set a precedent for other countries, as well as app developers and content creators worldwide," Kang Ki-hwan at the Korea Mobile Internet Business Association told AFP. The Korean law - locally dubbed the "Anti-Google Law" - will offer users a choice of app payment providers, allowing them to bypass charges set by the store owner. The South Korean measure comes as Apple and Google face global criticism for charging up to 30 percent commission on app sales and requiring their own payment systems be used that collect a share of the transactions. In the United States three senators this month introduced a bill to loosen the tech firms' grip on their stores, while in Europe lawmakers are debating legislation that could force Apple to bring in alternatives to the App Store. South Korean MPs were expected to ban Apple and Google from forcing app developers to use the tech giants' payment systems on Tuesday, effectively declaring their lucrative App Store and Play Store monopolies illegal.Ī bill set for a vote in the national assembly would make the South the first major economy to pass legislation on the issue, in a move that could set a precedent for other jurisdictions around the world.
