St. Maart: Clamping down on bootleggers

Commissioner of Economic Affairs Theo Heyliger stressed in a press release that the "jig is up" for bootleggers who illegally copy and distribute music, videocassettes and DVDs in St. Maarten.

In keeping with worldwide actions and laws, and those of the Netherlands Antilles, Heyliger announced that government had been preparing for the last few weeks to crack down on and, if need be, close down any establishment and/or individual found to be illegally distributing music, videos and DVDs.
