St Albans Crown Court have ruled that a market owner where stall holders sold bootlegged and counterfiet CDs and DVDs (Wendy Fair Markets Ltd) was guilty of copyright infringement ,setting a valuable precedent for the music industry by saying market owners taking rents from stall holders who they know or suspect to be selling illegal goods can be prosecuted.

The case against Wendy Fair and their directors followed an investigation by Hertfordshire Trading Standards into claims by the BPI and FACT that the company knowingly rented out stalls to the sellers of counterfeit DVDs, CDs and computer software at their Bovingdon Market in Hemel Hempstead.

Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page has given evidence in another piracy case in Glasgow when he testified against Robert Langley, a Buckinghamshire man accused of selling bootleg material at the SECC in Glasgow.

Langley's stock included hundreds of Led Zeppelin recordings, including many unreleased 'bootlegged' concert recordings. Langley denies the charges against him. The case continues.
