United States Attorney Kevin V. Ryan announced that the third and final defendant that has been charged in Operation Remaster pleaded guilty yesterday afternoon and admitted in open court to his involvement in the largest music manufacturing piracy seizure in the United States to date. On October 6, 2005, law enforcement conducted searches of 13 locations in California and Texas in the undercover investigation called Operation Remaster. The FBI estimates that approximately 494,000 pirated music, software, and movie Cd's, and DVDs, and more than 5,500 stampers were seized during those raids.
Defendant YAOBIN ZHAI, a/k/a Ben Zhai, 33, of Fremont, California, admitted participating in a conspiracy to mass-produce pirated music. Zhai is the principal owner of Magic Media, Inc. and BDG Publishing, Inc., both located in Hayward, California.
U.S. Attorney Kevin V. Ryan stated, "This third guilty plea in Operation Remaster further demonstrates our commitment to prosecuting those who would steal intellectual property from the developers of music and software. This investigation has broken up a sophisticated CD piracy scheme that was distributing hundreds of thousands of Cd's around the country. I would like to thank the REACT Task Force and FBI for their excellent work on this matter. I would also like to acknowledge the superb cooperation we received from the Recording Industry Association of America. We intend to continue the vigorous enforcement our intellectual property laws."
