Published Date:

ANTI-PIRACY investigators raided a plant after receiving allegations of a major file-sharing network, they said yesterday.
Assisted by police, the team from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) carried out the raid at a plant of engineering company Honeywell in Motherwell at 8:40am on Thursday.
It is the first such raid on a business.
Investigators made copies of the contents of computers to be analysed, but did not take any equipment away, a BPI spokesman said.
The raid follows a two-month investigation after a tip-off from a Honeywell employee.
Information passed to the BPI, which is the British record industry's trade association, pointed to thousands of files being shared illegally.
A number of Honeywell employees were helping police yesterday and a report will go to the procurator-fiscal.
