MANILA, Philippines - Airline passengers are warned against carrying pirated CDs and DVDs in their luggage or even their hand-carried bags.
Representatives of the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), Intellectual Property Office (IPO) and the Optical Media Board (OMB) have signed a memorandum of agreement for the strict implementation of the anti-piracy campaign in all international and local airports in the country.
MIAA general manager Jose Angel Honrado said mere possession of pirated CDs and DVDs is a violation of Republic Act 8923 or the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines, and punishable with a maximum prison term of five years.
Honrado also warned passengers against buying and transporting fake products.
He said the IPO and the OMB will be given a free hand in implementing the law in all airports.
He said authorities will launch a two-month information and awareness campaign to inform passengers about this policy.
