Chinese Pirates Account For 93% of Counterfeit CDs and DVDs in EU


Here’s an interesting list of 10 “inconvenient truths” that the IFPI released yesterday in regards to the EU’s latest figures on counterfeit products that were confiscated in 2006.

According to the reports there were 23 million phony CDs and DVDs confiscated last year and 93 percent originated in China. The music industry’s international trade group goes as far as saying that the purchase of pirated CDs supports terrorism.

I find that last one a little hard to believe, but who knows.

Read the rest after the jump.
