A 13-HOUR operation at Sim Lim Square on Friday netted 14 people involved in the distribution of pirated movies and fake mobile phones, police said on Saturday. Aged between 21 and 34 years old, the 10 men and four women, were arrested during simultaneous raids at nine locations in Sim Lim Square. The police also confiscated media players, hard disks pre-loaded with pirate movies and counterfeit mobile phones worth an estimated $160,000 on the streets. The majority of the items came from outside Singapore, the police said, and investigations as to how the goods entred the country are continuing.

'Any copyright or trademark infringer, who profits at the expense of legitimate business and consumers with a blatant disregard for intellectual property rights laws, will have to face legal penalties,' said Assistant Director of the Specialised Crime Division, Criminal Investigation Department, Superintendent of Police Goh Lam Kiong. If found guilty of selling or distributing products that infringe copyright or trademarks, the 14 suspects could be fined up to $10,000 per article, with a maximum of $100,000 for all items, or they could be jailed for up to 5 years, or both.

Judging by the big number of media players and hard drives FS in SLS and discussions in the forums, many, many ppl are actually watching pirated HD movies, in fact the looking at the hardware being sold at SLS, the whole SLS is practically catering to Singaporean's love for pirated movies, why the hell do so many Singaporeans need terra byte drives?......ccb no money to buy BD, then rent, why pirate?
 

So bold, so busted
Sim Lim Square sales gimmick sparks police raid - 14 arrested, items worth $160,000 seized

Buy a media player from us and we will fill its hard disk with movies – for free. Sounds like a great deal, but what vendors at Sim Lim Square are offering is actually illegal.

The vendors also offered "refills" at a fraction of the price of a DVD, for customers who bought media players from them.

It's equivalent to selling pirated movies, lawyers told The New Paper.
