Mobile Suit Gundam DVD Pirates Arrested in Tokyo

   Three Chinese men residing in Tokyo have been arrested for copyright violations associated with DVD piracy. They are believed to have sold illegal DVD copies of anime series including "Mobile Suit Gundam" with English and Chinese subtitles. The Hong Kong-manufactured DVDs were reportedly sold via Yahoo! Auctions and over the World Wide Web.

The three Chinese men allegedly made tens of millions of yen in profits from the counterfeit DVDs. Video piracy-related arrests and lawsuits have become more common in recent years; in February 2003 a Saitama businessman was sued by Sunrise for a similar offence.
