Report from The New Straits Times dated Sunday 9 July 2006 :-

More youngsters selling pirated discs for syndicates

KUALA LUMPUR : Eyebrows were raised when Foo Kiat Yung said he earned RM500 in commission after three days of selling pirated DVDs.

The 14-year-old boy was in the news when he ran away from home in Johor Baru after racking up debts playing computer games.

He found a job, peddling pirated DVDs and VCDs in food courts and restaurants in Subang Jaya, he told reporters after returning home.

Anecdotal evidence and statistics from the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry suggest that more young Malaysians are becoming salesmen for syndicates pushing pirated discs.

Many of them are lured by the fact that they can earn up to RM150 a day in commission. They also believe syndicate bosses will bail them out if they are nabbed by enforcement officers.

Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk S. Veerasingam said the ministry has set up a special unit to monitor the trade in pirated DVDs and VCDs.

He noted that between Oct 1, 2003 and yesterday, 172 juveniles were arrested nationwide for peddling DVDs and VCDs. In general, there has been a steady increase in the number of people arrested for selling pirated goods.

In 2003, 124 people were arrested, rising to 529 and 710 in 2004 and 2005 respectively. For the first six months of this year, 457 arrests were made, and it looks like this number will double by the end of the year.

"Those who peddle pirated goods either don’t realise they are breaking the law, or if they know of it, are unaware of the severe penalties," Veerasingam said.

Individuals can be fined up to RM20,000 and jailed for up to five years, while a company faces a maximum fine of RM40,000 and the owner jailed for up to 10 years.

Veerasingam said it is important for parents to monitor their children to make sure that they don’t get involved in illegal activities.

He also called on the public to stop buying pirated goods. "When the demand stops, the supply ceases."

It's an easier and more lucrative job, say DVD sellers

KUALA LUMPUR: He is 22 and wouldn’t dream of quitting his "job" which brings him around RM3,000 a month.

Ah Tong (not his real name), who used to put up billboards in Teluk Intan, now sells pirated DVDs at a well-known mamak stall in Overseas Union Garden (OUG) here.

"The job is easier and I earn more than I did with the billboard company," said Ah Tong, who earns a RM1.50 commission on every DVD he sells for RM8.

Ah Tong is just one of countless youths who work full-time or part-time in the pirated DVD trade.

Ah Man, 21, from Ipoh, says: "I only work at night, and there is less pressure than at my old job in construction."

Ah Man started selling VCDs at the age of 15 at a pasar malam in Ipoh "part-time as I was still in school".

When he moved to Kuala Lumpur after finishing school, he joined a construction firm but continued to sell DVDs part-time.

"In the end, I decided that selling DVDs was better and quit my job two years ago."

Boy and Sky, aged 20 and 19, peddle their pirated wares at SS15 Subang Jaya. Both were recently arrested by Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry enforcement officers.

"But our boss bailed us out, paying RM15,000. He did the same for another two colleagues," said Boy.

He said it was his second arrest. His first was a few years ago in his hometown, Johor Baru. He got involved in the business at the age of 12, selling pirated VCDs at the pasar malam.

He works as a wireman by day and sells pirated DVDs, VCDs and porn VCDs at night.

His DVDs cost RM10 each and he receives a RM1 commission. VCDs are sold at RM5 for 50 sen commission, while porn VCDs cost RM25, for which Boy gets a RM2 commission.

"I send RM500 a month to my father and use the rest for my expenses," said Boy.

Alor Star boy Sky who works with a transport company, says: "It is expensive to live in the city.

"Unless I do this part-time, I wouldn’t have enough to send money to my family, support myself and save something every month."

Sky said he started in the trade about two years ago when he moved to the city.

Report from The New Straits Times dated Thursday 13 July 2006 :-

Housewife an online DVD pirate

JOHOR BARU: A 41-year-old housewife thought she had found a foolproof way to get rich online.

After making a small fortune selling pirated DVD movies and games on an auction website last December, she decided to set up her own website in May.

For a while, it seemed that she had struck gold as orders poured in for the pirated DVDs priced at RM7 or RM8 each.

All she had to do was monitor the website to ensure that payments had been made before sending the pirated products to her clients by courier service.

Operating from the privacy of her home, she was confident she would never be caught and even offered her top 20 clients a loyalty reward programme.

On Monday, however, the housewife’s illicit operation was exposed when an enforcement team from the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry’s Internet Piracy Unit raided her house.

Led by enforcement officer Aswadi Jaafar, the team found 3,769 pirated DVD movies and games, envelopes, acknowledgement slips and a computer in the house in Bandar Seri Alam here.

The total value of the seizure is estimated at RM35,000.

The team had put the house under surveillance for weeks before raiding it at 3.15pm.

The ministry’s Johor branch chief enforcement officer, Fahmi Kasim, said apart from the woman, a 60-year-old man and a 12-year-old boy, believed to be her father and son, were in the house during the raid.

He said the suspect operated independently but was believed to have been supplied by a syndicate.

"We believe the suspect shifted her operation from the auction website to her own to avoid detection.

"She operated her business from her home, posted all orders from the Tampoi post office and opened her bank account in Taman Sentosa. All three locations are situated a distance away from each other."

The suspect had hundreds of regular customers in Johor and Singapore, and the biggest order she had received was worth RM900.

The suspect, who is under remand, is expected to be charged under the Copyright Act 1987. It carries a fine of not less than RM2,000 and not more than RM20,000, or a jail term not exceeding five years, or both.

Her website has also been shut down.

The raid was conducted with the co-operation of the Motion Picture Association.

Report from The STAR dated Tuesday 8 August 2006 :-

Crackdown on pirated VCD and DVD copies

PUTRA JAYA: Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shafie Apdal said on Tuesday the ministry would continue its crackdown on licensed VCD and DVD outlets which sold pirated and pornographic copies.

The latest bust, he said, was on a factory in Sri Damansara in Sungai Buloh last Friday which produced such VCDs and DVDs.

He said the operators and workers were detained while equipment worth RM20mil were confiscated.

“This big haul was possible after weeks of investigation and stake out,” he told reporters after the ministry’s monthly gathering here.

He hoped the state enforcement divisions would also beef up their operations to bring to book such operators.

Report from The STAR dated Wednesday 9 August 2006 :-

Porn DVDs featuring ‘Siti, Ning, Erra...’

PORNOGRAPHIC DVD sellers in Petaling Street are using names of popular celebrities to boost sales.

Among the names used are Siti Nurhaliza, Ning Baizura, Erra Fazira, Nabila (Amy Search's daughter), Linda Onn, Dayang Nur Faizah, Fauziah Latif, Sheila Majid and Waheeda.

According to Harian Metro, the syndicates are merely using the names although the celebrities are not the stars in the movies.

Agents would circulate a piece of A4 size paper with the celebrities' name list wrapped in a yellow and pink plastic.

Listed on the paper are the categories of the DVDs, ranging from homosexual, lesbian, bohsia, datin, air stewardess, and rural or urban girls, to underaged, college, secondary schoolgirls and models.

There are also limited edition DVDs featuring Bollywood artistes.

The agents offer nearly 1,000 titles of special collections from Japan, Hong Kong, Canada, Pakistan, South Africa, Argentina, Russia, China, New Zealand and Italy.

Buyers are given a warranty of one to nine months and purchasers of 50 DVDs get 10 free.

The DVDs are offered at between RM30 and RM60 each while CDs are sold at RM20 apiece.
