FBI Breaks Up Two Movie Piracy Rings in NY

An AP newswire article, via CBS News, reports that:

FBI agents carried out early morning raids Wednesday and broke up two international movie-piracy rings that siphoned millions of dollars from the motion picture industry over the last year, a federal law enforcement official said.

Hordes of agents rounded up more than a dozen members of the two large-scale rings in raids throughout the New York area, the official said. Recording equipment was also seized.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because announcement of the arrests had not been made. Details were to be unveiled at FBI headquarters later Wednesday.
