AN Ilminster home was raided by Trading Standards and copyright protection officials last week, in an operation to combat the alleged copying of music, films, computer games and adult material onto CDs.

A search of the undisclosed address followed weeks of surveillance activity by the anti-piracy unit of the Mechanical Copyright Protection Agency (MCPS).

Four computer operated copying systems with eight CD/DVD burners were confiscated and a man was to be interviewed following the raid last Tuesday.
