Experts from the Entertainment Software Association, Canadian Motion Picture Distributors Association and the Canadian Recording Industry Association assisted the RCMP in the searches, helping to determine exactly what was legitimate and what was counterfeit. "On behalf of our member company motion picture studios, the Canadian Motion Picture Distributors Association would like to thank the RCMP for their enforcement efforts of last week at the Pacific Mall," said Serge Corriveau, Vice President, Anti-Piracy Operations.
"Motion picture piracy costs the movie industry $3.5 to $4 Billion (US) a year worldwide, and this activity also presents a tremendous loss of taxable revenue for legitimate Canadian businesses." he added. No arrests were made however but investigations continue.
