UK Police Arrest Pirate Who Cost the Industry Millions.
Quote:
In its ongoing fight to reduce online piracy in the UK, the Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit (PIPCU) often targets people suspected of illegally sharing movies, music and other digital downloads. In Liverpool, the City of London division has today, with help from Merseyside Police and UK copyright agency PRS for Music, arrested a 38-year-old Liverpool man linked with illegally distributing the UK's Top 40 singles via download sites.
PIPCU says the man distributed the top-selling tracks and acappella music (songs that feature only vocals) via his website, netting him "significant advertising revenue" in the process.
