A 24-year-old Pietermaritzburg woman was arrested on Thursday afternoon for allegedly pirating and selling music and movie DVDs, KwaZulu-Natal police said.

Senior Superintendent Henry Budhram said crime intelligence officers confiscated DVDs valued at R120 000 and computer equipment believed to have been used in the pirating of the discs valued at R4000 when arresting the woman.

"Information was received that the woman and her husband were copying music and movie DVDs for the purpose of selling them from premises in Greyling street," Budhram said.

The woman's husband was still being sought by police.

The woman will face charges of contravening the copyright act when she appears in the Pietermaritzburg Magistrate's Court.
