ALL - Modded Systems Seized In UK
Chalk up another one for the good guys. A total of about 450 consoles and handheld systems were seized from a residential home in the UK due to modding. Also found in the raid were 300 pirated games and 5000 ¨illegal discs¨. This is now considered the largest bust of game piracy in the UK.
Officials had first raided a stall in halifax market which yielded some items. Upon further search of the accused´s home they found 246 Nintendo Wii consoles, 168 Xbox 360s, 19 PSPs, 12 DS Lites, 6 PlayStation 2s, and 6 PlayStation 3s. The estimated value of the illegal discs mentioned above amounted to roughly GBP 50,000 alone. Everything is now in the possession of the Anti-Piracy unit of the Entertainment & Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA).
Graham Hebblethwaite, chief officer of West Yorkshire Trading Standard, says about the raid:
¨Copyright crime is driven by greed and causes a loss of millions of pounds to retailers of West Yorkshire and to members of the music and entertainment industry every year... The haul of items from this operation should send out a clear warning to individuals involved in the illegal copyright industry that they will dealt with severely. This sort of crime carries a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment.¨
