William Agnew from South Lanarkshire was sentenced at Hamilton Sheriff Court after admitting to the offences. 4,000 DVDs, CDs and games (PlayStation, Xbox and PC) were seized during a raid on the man's business premises. The goods, if sold new, are estimated to be worth in the region of £100,000.
This is the latest in a series of ELSPA publicised piracy related arrests, one of which saw four raids in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, resulting in the arrest of a renowned counterfeiter, and the recovery of £250,000 worth of games, music and films.
So, next time your ice cream man asks if you want anything else with your 99, he might not mean a can of Coke.
