I work in Brierley Hill that place is less than five minutes away, bet I know which market stand it was that got busted as well.

Its about time those pikeys got shut down. They have been doing this for at least 15 years...

Was it the council organising this raid

[matty-hodgson]

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

[finlay666]

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

These guys had been reported so many times it was unreal. About blinking time

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.
