Pirate Software Gang Busted in China

The IHT reports:

The FBI and Chinese police have cooperated to bust two gangs in Shanghai and Shenzhen and seize pirated software worth half a billion dollars, officials said Tuesday.

The gangs were pirating Microsoft and Norton software for sale in the United States, said Gao Feng, an official with the Ministry of Public Security.

"Twenty-five suspects were arrested in the joint campaign ... and 360,000 pieces of pirated software were confiscated along with their property worth over 60 million yuan (US$7.9 million, €5.72 million)," Gao said in a news conference held online in Shenzhen, a boomtown city just over the border from Hong Kong in southern China.

"The counterfeit software has an estimated retail value of US$500 million (€362 million)," the Los Angeles Field Office of the FBI said in a separate statement.
