EBAY TAKE ACTION OVER ILLEGAL LIVE 8 DVDS

The online auction site are "working closely" with the BPI...

EBAY have said they’re removing illegal DVDs of last weekend’s (July 2) LIVE 8 concert.

The BPI have said they’re “working closely” with the online auction site to have the listings removed.

BPI Director of Anti-Piracy David Martin said: "There are too many people out there who believe music is for stealing, regardless of the wishes of artists and the people who invest in them.

”Sadly we are not at all surprised by this incident. We would ask music buyers to remain vigilant at all times and to report any incidents of piracy like this directly to us on our Anti-Piracy Hotline.”
