Copyright protection authorities in east China's Fujian province have dealt harshly with the pirated VCD and DVD producers with over 70,000 discs confiscated since the beginning of this year.
Fujian police have cracked down on two production lines that manufacture pirated VCDs and DVDs since 1997.
Early this week, the province handed out rewards to those with information concerning pirated activities and their offenders. Those who report illegal VCD and DVD production lines will be awarded for up to 300,000 yuan (US$36,150).
Those who report assembling such production lines will receive 30,000 to 100,000 yuan (US$3,620 to 12,500). An official from the Fujian Provincial Press and Publication Bureau said that rewards aim to encourage people to keep a close eye on these illegal activities.
