Dalllas-Fort Worth huge hub for illegal movies

MPAA officials are targeting the Dallas-Fort Worth area in the state of Texas  for its huge bootleg movie trafficking.

From the Houston Chronicle:

The Motion Picture Association of America has opened an anti-piracy office in Irving using undercover agents to shut down one of the country’s largest hubs for illegal bootleg activity, officials said.

So far this year, law enforcement officials have seized about 100,000 counterfeit DVDs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, said Michael Robinson, director of North American anti-piracy operations for the MPAA.

“The Dallas-Fort Worth area has a number of well organized bootleg distribution organizations whose activities reach as far as Austin, Shreveport, and Oklahoma City,” Robinson said in a story that aired Tuesday on TV station KTVT.
