A so-called warez CD/DVD dealer in Burwell, United Kingdom, is currently being quizzed after an undercover operation to clamp down on CD piracy. The 30-year-old man sold pirated CDs and DVDs on the internet. His computers and discs were seized during a raid in his house.
The man is alleged to have run an illegal internet-based CD copying business. He was released on bail while investigations continue. The operation was run by city council trading standard officers - who made number of test purchases before the raid. |
Nick Kounoupias, of the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society Anti-Piracy Unit, said that in operations of this kind, perpetrators e-mail potential customers a master library of available CDs - with music, film, games and software titles on offer. They are then copied on to disc and sent by post to the customer
