Police bust Chinese CD piracy network
Spanish police have arrested 69 Chinese people suspected of belonging to a CD and DVD pirating network capable of copying more than a million discs a month, the Interior Ministry said on Thursday.
Police found 79,000 pirated CDs and 66,000 illegally copied DVDs, copying equipment and false passports in what the ministry said was the biggest police operation against music and film piracy in Spain.
The group's distribution network stretched from the north of Spain to the south and was controlled by members in Madrid and the eastern city of Alicante.
Spain has the biggest piracy problem in Western Europe, according to the International Federation for the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), which named it as one of its top 10 priority countries worldwide in a report published earlier this year.
