In 2019, an amendment to Taiwan's Copyright Law was made to combat set-top boxes and programs used for copyright infringement. A new clause (Clause 8) was added to the list in Article 87 delineating activities deemed to be copyright infringement by the law:

"Article 87(1)(8). One who intends to facilitate the public to access publicly broadcast or transmitted contents that infringe on copyrights, and knowingly (a) offers the public a software that collects IP addresses of the said infringing contents, (b) instructs or assists the public to use, or presets path for the public to access the said software, or (c) manufactures, imports, or sells an equipment or device containing the said software, shall be deemed as infringing copyrights, suppose he or she receives benefits from such conduct." (the writer's translation)
