A combined team of police personnel and members of the anti-piracy task force of the Ghana Association of Phonographic Industry (GAPI) and Musicians Association of Ghana (MUSIGA) have arrested 20 music retailers and pirates in a swoop at Berekum.
The arrested persons included owners of the Blessed Assurance Music Shop, Mutari, Wujah-Bless, France Night Club, Scotch De Low, Unique Videos, Barcelona, Ras Pees Spot and Cameo Drinking Spot.
The team also seized both empty and pirated audio compact discs, video compact discs (VCDs), computers and accessories, equalizers and amplifiers.
John Mensah Sarpong, President of GAPI, told newsmen that the activities of music pirates had unleashed hardships on musicians and music producers through the loss of their heavy investments.
