Three Indicted in Huge CD Piracy Bust

Three men were indicted on Wednesday in what is being called the biggest pirated-CD ring in U.S. history. Altogether, some 325,000 music and software CDs were produced, which contained Latin music and Symantec security software. All three have been released on bail and await trial, scheduled for October 27.

Ye Teng Wen, 29, Hao He, 30, and Yaobin Zhai, 33 -- all of the San Francisco area -- are charged with placing labels on CDs to make them appear as legitimate copies, which even included the FBI warning against piracy. The pirate copies made it to stores as far away as Chicago and were widely distributed, officials say.
