Original report from Phnom Penh
05 January 2010
Authorities destroyed some 300,000 illegal movies, including pornographic videos, in a ceremony in Phnom Penh Tuesday, using a giant roller compactor to crush the illegal discs.
“We have pushed to eliminate the illegal copyrights of CDs and pornographic videos and warn the offenders that they face prison charges,” Sao Bunthoeun, deputy director of the national police’s internal security department, said in a ceremony Tuesday morning.
“The illegal VCDs affects intellectual property, and the pornographic VCDs affect Cambodian culture and the morals of the people,” he said. “So the producers of illegal and pornographic VCDs must stop immediately. If they destroy or damage our national culture, we will face damage to the nation.”
