Video Piracy

NPR'S Melissa Block reports on the bust of a huge video piracy ring in New York city. Three dozen people were arrested for selling an estimated 100,000 counterfeit tapes each week throughout the country. Not only were many current movies found on tape, but also master copies of movies that haven't made it to the theatres yet.
