New records “Célestin-Record” appeared in the stores that appear to be quite rough copyings. They say, the records are manufactured in Warsaw by some engineer. Couldn’t he find a better job!

Были среди пиратов и случаи взаимного «плагиата». Так например, торговые агенты известной санкт-петербургской фирмы «Тонофон» однажды с удивлением обнаружили в продаже у своих же оптовых покупателей диски с логотипом «Торнофон», полностью повторяющие их самые коммерческие записи, которые они, в свою очередь, «переняли» у АО «Граммофон».
