Pirate home raided in Worcestershire |
Ó
And the anti-piracy campaign is certainly going for the big guns. Over at Worcestershire, England, a man's property was raided in the wee hours of the morning of January 9th for being involved in piracy.Discovered in the unnamed man's possession were a stash of illegally copied games and films, along with copying equipments. The authorities involved, Worcestershire Trading Standards, West Mercier Police and an ELSPA anti-piracy investigator, got the information, thanks to another previously convicted criminal's computer.
Apparently, the 37-year old man, who cannot be named, had been operating a mini factory right in his home to duplicate illegal copies of games. Mostly, they were of Xbox's FPS Halo 2, as well as DVD films. There were also four PCs, an Xbox and an Xbox 360 found along with a duplicating tower, removable hard drive and 500 discs - most of which were masters from which he made copies.
Says ELSPA managing director Michael Rawlinson, "The replication of computer and video games software and any other multimedia product is illegal and has a negative impact on both local and national businesses."
Pirates, so to speak, are sure to receive a heavy penalty if caught. So, if you don't wanna stick by the rules, don't get caught. Oh, but that will be sending the wrong message. Post ends here now.
