Police unit targets film piracy
Found on BBC on Saturday, 25 February 2006
A police unit dedicated to combating movie piracy and those responsible for the manufacture and distribution of pirated films has launched in London.
In partnership with the Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact), the new unit will pursue individuals and groups profiting from the sale of fake DVDs.
The unit, which will initially operate for a one-year period, will work alongside Fact collating intelligence on crime trends and activities in film piracy.
Seriously, if people want to buy a CD/DVD, they should buy the official release, instead of buying a copy. While it's fine to go after commercial piracy, I'm afraid the industry might try to use the police against P2P users as well.
