1 comments | Tuesday, December 4, 2007

MANILA, Philippines -- Nearly 200 illegally photocopied nursing and medical textbooks sold nearly Regulatory Commission of the Philippines (PRC) in the building Sampaloc, Manila, were seized by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), in a raid last week.

Through a search warrant from Manila Regional Trial Court Judge Aida Layug, members of the NBI-Special Action Unit led by the officer Angelito Magno photocopied and confiscated books bound Ferpage, RBL unnamed, and a shop owned by a certain Vergel Viloria, P. Paredes Street, on November 21.

Confisqués were 131 assorted manuals including series NCLEX examination by Lippincott; 41 textbooks and by Mosby Elsevier Saunders; 119 assorted CDs, a booklet, price list, and two games on the computer.

articles, Magno said, were "complete and incomplete unauthorized reproduction of nursing and other allied medical science textbooks and CD" by foreign publishers.

Representatives from C & E Publishing, the books' local distributor, have resorted to the BNA confiscate pirated material.

textbooks cost P1, 200-P1, 500 each while the duplicates was seized for only P250, P300, Magno said.

He said that the owners of these establishments will be responsible for copyright infringement.

Whaaat!?? All your posts are interesting..but this one really caught my attention!

tsk! tsk! too bad for the students especially those in university belt. Even I, admit that I still buy pirated CDs from the said place. ;D Although C&E Bookstore gives 5-10% discounts on books, a half the price (or greater) discount on the materials being sold in these unauthorized establishments is very helpful to the customers, making them patronize the products.
