PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
ANTI-PIRACY CAMPAIGN (15 December 1992)

That this House notes with concern the recent increase in the counterfeiting of Top 75 tapes; observes that pirates are likely to make an estimated ú6 million a year from selling illegal, poor quality counterfeit tapes; further notes that piracy is a totally illegal trade which has a devastasting effect on the livelihoods of all artists and performers, many of whom depend on royalties as their principal source of income; and as a result welcomes the Let's Stamp Out Piracy campaign led by Music Week magazine, the British Association of Record Dealers and the British Phonographic Industry.
