MPAA Raids $28million Malaysian DVD Factory

11. June 2006, 20:55 Uhradmin

According to an Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) news briefing, on May 29 a home in Pengang, Malaysia was raided for piracy of optical discs. The raid was carried about by ten Malaysian enforcement officers, accompanied by Motion Picture Association (MPA) represenatives.

The raiding party arrested a 42-year-old man, seized 200 DVD burners, 83 CD burners, as well as 15,800 blank DVD-recordable discs. The MPA estimates that the DVD burning lab was capable of creating 8,760,000 DVDs per year, yielding a revenue over $28million USD.

Of course, this is just a fraction of what the MPA would make if all discs were purchased legally for an average price of $20USD per disc, that would result in a $175,200,000USD payout.

Free Limewire / P2P

A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network relies primarily on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the network rather than concentrating it in a relatively low number of servers. P2P networks are typically used for connecting nodes via largely ad hoc connections. Such networks are useful for many purposes. Sharing content files (see file sharing) containing audio, video, data or anything in digital format is very common, and realtime data, such as telephony traffic, is also passed using P2P technology.A pure peer-to-peer network does not have the notion of clients or servers, but only equal peer nodes that simultaneously function as both "clients" and "servers" to the other nodes on the network. This model of network arrangement differs from the client-server model where communication is usually to and from a central server. A typical example for a non peer-to-peer file transfer is an FTP server where the client and server programs are quite distinct, and the clients initiate the download.
