China has confiscated more than eight million illegal CDs and DVDs as part of a 100-day crackdown on pirated movies and computer software.

The campaign has had “remarkable success” and coincides with a rise in sales of authorized CDs and DVDs in major cities, the China Daily quoted the head of the National Copyright Association, Long Xinmin, as saying.

More than 89,000 shops and street vendors have been raided as part of the crackdown, which began on July 25, with 8.3 million CDs and DVDs seized, Xinhua news agency said.

Just over 3,000 shops have been closed down for selling pirated goods while 9,508 businesses have been punished, Xinhua said.
