America's powerful film industry lobby group says a market in Melbourne is among the world's most notorious for selling pirated DVDs.

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has released its latest report into movie copyright infringement.

It features what it calls a "detailed listing of the world's most notorious marketplaces for the distribution of illegal film and television shows".

High on the list of "notorious physical markets" are individual stallholders selling at Scoresby's Caribbean Gardens and Markets.

"There are between 10 and 20 individual market sellers offering counterfeit Region 1 and 2 DVDs, together with other sellers offering burnt DVDs of recently released titles," the report said.

The group points the finger at the Victorian and federal police forces for failing to crack down on stallholders selling pirated goods.

"The total number of sellers, while substantially reduced from mid-2000s, has increased recently due to a lack of enforcement," the report said.

"State and federal police have shown no interest in enforcing the issue despite multiple entreaties from right holders."

But the Australian Federal Police says only one complaint has been received about sellers at the markets in the past two years.

In April, the AFP received one referral from the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft alleging copyright infringements at the Caribbean Gardens and Markets.

This referral was rejected in accordance with the AFP's Case Categorisation Prioritisation Model.

No-one at the Caribbean Gardens and Markets was available to talk to the ABC, despite numerous attempts.

However operations manager Robbie Ager reportedly told Fairfax the information in the report was outdated, and everything sold by stallholders now was the "real McCoy".

Markets in Ukraine, China, Indonesia, Northern Ireland, Russia, Mexico and Brazil were also among those in the MPAA's list of notorious markets.

The rest of the MPAA report reads like a digital pirate's internet favourites, listing the hottest and biggest websites where movies can be obtained for free.
