    Re: News - West Midlands factory raid nets large illegal videogame haul

    Recovered from the premises were 10,000 blank discs and 30,000+ fraudulent software titles, including recent films and music such as High School Musical 3, Hancock and Mummy 3. That haul included at least 9,000 unlawfully copied discs containing videogame titles.
    how long would 30000 discs take to copy?!
    glad they got taken down though

    Re: News - West Midlands factory raid nets large illegal videogame haul

    not that long when they do a batch of 35 at a time....

    so say they only had to do 1000 copies in time, say each one takes 10 minutes to do, thats 10,000 minutes (say 12,000 for ease of calculation) so that is 200 hours or 20 longish days

    I assume that's from where the Chinese sellers on the streets of East London on weekends get their haul?

    Doubt it, there's probably similar operations running much closer to home for them.
