Malaysian authorities are to install X-ray machines at two key airports in an attempt to prevent the export of pirated films from the country.
The export of pirate copies of movies is illegal, but also a thriving industry, according to the New Straits Times. The newspaper said that the machines will be installed at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, as well as at the airport in Penang state, by the end of May.
Malaysia Airlines Cargo Sdn Bhd (MASkargo), a subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines System Bhd, has made an agreement with the Motion Picture Association for checking cargo for pirated video compact discs and digital versatile discs, according to Mohd Yunus Idris, the general manager of MASkargo's cargo operations. The Association reportedly represents and protects the American film, home video and television industries globally and in Malaysia.
