MANAMA:
Bahrain's Customs department is cracking the whip. Its
crackdown on pirated goods is paying off, with record
seizures at Customs points. The authorities seized a
record 40,692 pirated items last month from incoming
visitors and residents coming home from abroad, at
Bahrain's two major entry checkpoints. The Information
Ministry Publications Directorate spearheads the war on
fake goods. Most of the items were pirated DVDs, CDs, a
range of other audio and video cassettes, playstations
and other types of software purchased abroad. The figure
brings the total number of pirated goods seized this
year at the national borders to more than 70,000 items.
