Found on The Inquirer on Monday, 08 May 2006
A small-time DVD pirate has gone on record as attempting one of the most risky sales of all time.
The unnamed peddler approached the Malaysian Consumer Affairs Minister Shafie Apdal as he sat at a popular restaurant and tried to flog him a selection of titles.
Shafie is currently heading Malaysia's crack-down on piracy as the country tries to set up a free trade agreement with the US.
