The owner of a website in Brazil that sold pirate copies of music from The Beatles has been sentenced to more than 18 months in prison this week. The result is a success for IFPI's Brazilian Anti-Piracy Unit which spent five months investigating the illegal operations of the site. The counterfeit compilations of music from The Beatles were compacted into .mp3 format without authorisation from the copyright holders and sold for an average price of R$15 (approximately US$7).
