Alpha Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Editor's Note: Published on page A22 of the October 15, 2004 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer.AROUND P100 million worth of counterfeit Sony Playstation units, discs and computer programs were seized during a raid of four storage facilities in Quezon City and Manila the past two days. Acting on a complaint by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group raided three warehouses in Cubao and Ermita allegedly owned by Simon Chan and another person at the Tutuban Center on Recto Avenue. The Japan-based company was irked and alarmed by the number of establishments faking its copyright items, particularly the popular Playstation and its games on CD format. Police found 23 pieces of Playstation II CDs and thousands of assorted DVD games as well as controllers, memory cards, and CD writeables in Chan’s two warehouses in Cubao. Chan's store at Robinson's Place in Ermita also yielded a huge number of counterfeit computer items and games. Meanwhile, at the Dynamite Studio at the Tutuban Center, police found 26,930 pieces of fake PS games and 2,008 controllers. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 10x more in other countries where there is infact no copyright. That is still an unbelievable amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then with a cry of, "What's that, a counterfeit dual shock controller?" he starts jumping up and down on a suitcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
