JAKARTA: The director general of intellectual property rights
at the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, Abdul Bari Azed, led
a raid on a suspected VCD pirating operation in West Jakarta on
Wednesday.

The same company, identified as PT Medialine, was raided by
police on Dec. 29. In that first operation, officers confiscated
a total of 27,000 pirated VCDs and machines used to copy the
VCDs.

Ministry spokesman Ansori said PT Medialine was able to
produce 40,000 pirated VCDs a day.

"They have a wide distribution network. That's why we only
seized a small number of VCDs in the first operation," he was
quoted as saying by Tempointeraktif.com.

The Cengkareng Police have detained several suspects of the
case, Ansori said. -- JP
