oojavaguru Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Article 1: http://www.thevinylfactory.com/vinyl-factory-news/europes-biggest-counterfeit-record-pressing-plant-raided-by-police-in-germany/ Article 2: http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/global/6157444/german-police-raid-europes-biggest-counterfeit-pressing-plant Summary: German police have discovered one of the largest illegal pressing plants in Europe for CDs, DVDs and vinyl records. Following a two-year investigation, several properties in Aschaffenburg and in the federal state of Hessen were raided, with officials seizing a significant number CDs, DVDs and vinyl records. The evaluation of the material is still ongoing. ______________________________________________________________________________ Wonder how many bootlegs (e.g. Beyonce, Yeezus) this plant was responsible for. Also, hopefully the vinyl pressing parts/machines can be sold to other pressing plants (such as URP) to increase their capacity. I am guessing this kills a lot of the bootleg stuff that vinyl-digital.com was selling, since they were based in Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
