RE: One word... Moronic.
The thing that galls me again and again is the portrayal of home use and
small scale copying between friends as the "evil piracy", whilst
actual
sold-for-cash knock offs are being sold on every high street, with
impunity.
The vast majority of people that I have spoken are happy to see pirates
(ie, people *selling* knocked off media for cash) prosecuted, but
disagree completely with kids being prosecuted for swapping CDs, yet it
is precisely this small scale swapping that the media industry is
targetting with ever more draconian laws :

Extolling the virtues of the cinema, and the inferior experience of
using pirated films, to _people who are already at the cinema_ ?
It's like the pulpit bashing preacher, threatening eternal damnation
to non-church-goers, to those _actually in the church_!
In a 3 DVD box set I purchased last week, I got *4* flyers telling me to
buy original and not pirated copies.
Patronising bastards.
