You would think after getting caught twice before this man would have learned his lesson. "400 illegal records (lp)" this guy must be a serious pirate that equipment isn't cheap.

wow with all the stuff he has he must have never even stopped after he got caught in the 90s

In the 60's and before, a gentleman had a collection of every record the studios ever made. When he sold a copy of his records, it was to those studios who held the copyrights but were careless with the masters -- movie scores became nonexistent. Surprise! Someone turned him in and his collection was confiscated!
Try and find a copy of "A Star is Born" with Judy Garland -- the only one you can buy is all patched up with stills! Maybe the Dutchman went overboard, but did he render a service?

in the united states they have a law for that its call " 3 strick rule" and for someone like this who does it to make money off the backs of hard working people who paid for what they thought they were buying as being legal, this would land his ass in jail for ever ... what everyone needs to remmber is that it is illeagl to sell the back up to another as an origonal and this bird shows the need for darwinism awards for dumb tech's as much as the guy who straps a jet engine on the family car and ends up on the side of a mountian with a big crater to his name....

YOU mean "3 strike rule". Learn to spell.

My question:

wouldn't an illegal copy of a record be either shoplifted, stolen, or copied at the manufacturer's plant instead of pirated?

The fact that he got caught once before did not teach him a lesson. Or maybe for him to think to protect his goods a little better than that. :)

I think you young-uns have never looked at the copyright laws about the time that John Dylans records were being brazenly sold under the "Pig" label. They were being "stolen" so that draft dodgers could go to Canada and stay out of Vietnam.

YOU DIDN'T READ MY POSTING -- HE WAS ONLY SELLING TO THE STUDIOS WHO OWNED THE COPYRIGHTS.

I'm sure non of you would do a thing like that!!!!!

RRRRRRRR!.. Walk the plank matee!

wow Majkk thanks for the spelling correction maybe a comment other then that would be helpful.. but thats what you get from someone who spells "Magic with2 (K's)"

Hey mistic ass, it's the acronym for my kids names. Why is yours mistic, because you can't find your head up your ass???

Now now children......... behave

But this is exactly the sort of thing that RIAA and the labels should be going after - trying to make a profit by selling illegal copies of copyrighted works. Whether they should be mass-suing downloaders, employing scare tactics on internet users, and having laws written to suit their whims is another matter. 400 illegal LPs? Which he can sell for a very small amount each? I don't see how he expected to make a profit selling counterfit vinyl LPs...

You figure he would of stopped after the first two times.
