Uk's largest DVD piracy operation discovered in Leyton

basmic · 8 Apr 2006 at 10:46

The premises contained over 500 individual DVD burners capable of producing over 60,000 pirate DVDs per day, with an estimated daily street value in excess of £250,000 (c. £1.7m per week).

During the raid, all seized copies of Ice Age 2 had disappeared. Children of the police officers involved were very happy that evening!

Jeebus International terrorism sure is expensive, and all those poor kittens whose eyes get poked out by pirates too.

Hmmm.... I thought that DVD burners could only burn 150 DVDs give or take before they broke? :confused:

From me when one of my DVD burners stopped working at around that, and one of my friend's laptop burner did the same thing....

No doubt they will probably get banged up for some serious time whilst many Rapists and thugs that go out and physically assault people for a laugh get away with community service!! What a lovely world we live in!!
