The Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced yesterday that they had dismantled a group in Montreal that illegally distributed copies of television shows.

From the AFP:

n a statement, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said the Montreal group reproduced popular television shows such as “The Six Million-Dollar Man” and “Ally McBeal” using 200 DVD burners capable of making 14,000 copies a day.

The DVDs were then sold as originals at a discounted price and distributed through several websites to US and Canadian customers.

Movie Piracy is an estimated $18.2 Billion market.
