Hundreds of raids lead to multiple arrests proving crime doesn't pay.
The ELSPA (Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association) delivers the clear message that piracy in the computer and video games sector will not be tolerated, as its anti-piracy unit today announced figures that demonstrate its success in attempting to eradicate counterfeiting during the first half of 2004.
ELSPA's crackdown resulted in nearly 200 raids across the UK, the seizure of an estimated 2,500,000 (euro) worth of counterfeit merchandise and the conviction of 36 pirates since January, revealing a successful past six months.
Roger Bennett, director general of ELPSA said: "These excellent results are the fruits of continued hard work from ELSPA's anti-piracy investigators, outstanding cooperation and communication with local authorities and fellow anti-piracy groups and increasingly severe penalties for those caught. ELSPA would like to thank all those who join us in the struggle against counterfeiting."
