Mexico's Somexfon Shuts Down Digital Jukeboxes

As part of a continued push to combat piracy at different levels, Mexico's Society of Video, Multimedia and Phonogram Producers (Somexfon), has seized 15 digital jukeboxes in Mexico City and Jalisco.

Over the past few months, Somexfon has asked jukeboxes owners across the country to monitor their content and ensure that all tracks, whether in CDR or digital format, are legally obtained.

Those who don't comply have been told their jukeboxes will be seized by authorities. Acting together with local authorities, Somexfon seized 12 jukeboxes in Mexico City and 3 in Jalisco.
