Rehan Ahmed, 40, was sentenced on Monday for producing counterfeit vinyl records. He pleaded guilty to two charges of breach of artists' copyright and acquiring and using criminal property. The counterfeit operation generated £2,743,000 ($3.67 million) in unauthorized sales over seven years.
“With music on physical formats enjoying a resurgence, the market in counterfeit records has unfortunately also been growing as criminals cash in at the expense of creators and fans.”
