The Irish Recorded Music Association, along with its British counterpart BPI, has won a court case against online retailer CDWOW, which was found to have breached repeated court orders to cease its practice of selling CDs imported from the Far East to Irish and British customers. According to RTÉ news, the High Court judge ordered CDWOW to pay £150k immediately towards legal costs, with the final amount to be decided in July.

IRMA director general Dick Doyle said the ruling sent a clear message to companies illegally importing CDs and DVDs into Ireland from outside Europe.
