Customs officers have arrested seven people for copyright infringement, seizing computers and discs containing pirated software.

 

Undercover officers made orders for computers at five computer-chain shops in Tuen Mun last week. Upon receipt, they seized 14 computers and 193 discs of infringing software worth $60,000.

 

Six men and a woman - two proprietors and five salespeople - aged 19 to 53 were arrested.
