Geldof leads police to Live Aid pirate
A Bob Geldof tip-off has resulted in British police raiding the house of a man who's been selling a pirate Live Aid DVD set online for £110 stg.
After being made aware of its existence by Geldof, police tracked its source to a house in Skelmersdale, Lancashire where they also seized quantities of equally illegal U2 and Pink Floyd discs.
"He felt really sickened by the fact that somebody was making money from these DVDs that should have been going to charity," says the British Phonographic Industries' Director of Anti-Piracy, Dave Martin.
