Major anti-piracy raids in Mexico

well there is always somebody ready to take the previous bootleger spot lol this will never stop, sad but very true

all i can say is all those cops for a few warehouses daym......seems like they found mostly music in these warehouses.....but good luck catching them all cuz it will never happen.....its like filesharing u can never stop it..........

well im from mexico and all i can say is, they wont stop piracy, but personally ive been to this neighbourhood and this arent youre regullar pirat, this guys are really crooks, i mean murderers and kidnapers based on mexicanhell kitchens, called tepito, im more than glad they got them, this guys are the kind of guys running a small underground store that sells ps3 for 500 usd when its 900 dollars in the regular market, and after making the sell they rob you in the next 3 blocks, this is more than a raid, they had to confiscate an entire block wich was called the fortress where you could find mexican finnest scum

Wonder if the pocketed any for themselves. Do you really need that many cops to do an operation like this? Its not like their taking on the mob or drug cartel. Also the "prosecutors participated in the raid" now thats funny. Just to enhance their image for a future job in an already corrupt government. Now I now why they seek into the State.They cant sell their bootlegs

If in Mexico is like in my country, Honduras, then all this is run by very dangerous street gangs, ever heard of MS13 and Mara 18 (18 street),
and the neighborhoods where they run their operations from are very dangerous places where no even cops would dare go in alone, those gangs don't have any problem killing people, specially cops.

Elshorty you can bet they are very dangerous people, this place was called the fortress and in adition to having all this piracy it was the number 1 place for drugdeals, it was so bad in ther that the government plain and simple evicted everybody, not caring if you owned the place or if you did something or not, the whole complex was evicted

I'd like to know where they hold the the Government-seized auction.

I too am from Mexico City and have been to tepito many many times. It is a very dangerous place to shop.
But IMO, the cops will definitely take a very large share of that pirated media and turn around and sell it. That's no secret. Cops in mexico are crooked mfkrs. Everybody knows that. Piracy in Mexico will always be alive.

I very much agree. Cops in mexico will take your cash or goods and turn the other way and let you walk free. I lived near Reynosa Mexico at one point in my life. I've been there too. To my knowledge it is not illegal to make or sell copies. Just cross the border and you see them selling movies in the open. I wonder how this is illegal there. Oh well. Shit wont stop for sure.

You say your from Honduras. My father in law goes there often to visit hig soon to be wife. I live in the usa dallas tx to be exact. He states its a very nice place. I have heard of ms13. They are deadly gang to mess with. I used to live in edinburg, tx. Where i lived 20 mins from the border of Reynosa Mexico. That street gang was in fights with another gang over drugs. They can and will kill you just for looking at them wrong. Ruthless!! Is the correct for these gangas.

correct me if im wrong but if this place is so bad as people say it is then no wonder they needed as many cops etc to bust the places they did but if that was the case then y didnt these people protect themselves better against the raid ie: destroyin the evidence or was there a mole involved ( probably ) anyway it sounds like that wont be the last we hear of them ......

its just so down into the slums they thought there was no0 way police would get in, besides theyve been operating under the corruption of aouthorities for so long they probably didnt expected to anything to hapen, since they had paid ther monthly fees :p
