“Our forensic examiner was able to view the pirated movies saved on his computer. It was connected to a website where a lot of movies are illegally being downloaded,” ani De Jesus.

Sinabi ni De Jesus na nadiskubre rin nilang nagbebenta ang suspek ng illegally downloaded movies.

Nakatakdang sampahan si Macalabo ng paglabag Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines at Cybercrime Prevention Act. (AARON RECUENCO)
