A Swedish CD-ROM replicating company is to pay $1.2 million after being caught with pirated MP3 files and software.



More than 20,000 CD-ROMs were found at Stockholm-based DCM Group, a division of Digital Communication Media (DCM), after a "knock and talk" version of a dawn raid.



The Business Software Alliance (BGSA) and the International Federation of the Phonographic industry (IFPI) slapped the Swedes' wrists after they uncovered a haul of compilation CDs containing copied games, music files, and software from manufacturers such as Macromedia and Symantec.

We don't know the name of CD's that were taken, if you have more information about this, then please mail us at info@cdfreaks.com
