UK: Piracy couple gets jail sentence

Via the BBC.

A married couple arrested for music, film and game piracy have received jail terms of between six and 21 months.

The pair, who are now separated, were convicted of copyright offences and benefit fraud.

They were arrested following a search of their home in Formby near Liverpool and the discovery of counterfeit discs worth an estimated £28,000.

The arrest was part of Operation Zouk, a nationwide scheme headed by the Department for Work and Pensions.
