It appears that exploitation of the public's paranoia is not unique to us, North Americans, it's something our Trans-Atlantic friends in the UK have adopted as well. According to a
recent article I've read on BBC Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact) in UK is launching a new anti piracy campaign under the slogan that Movie piracy supports terrorists. They claim that illegal movie copies are being distributed by IRA and Afghans Sikhs to sponsor their insurgency activities. They even made a nice poster.
It would appear they hope that capitalizing on the public's somewhat irrational fear of bad man hiding behind every corner they will accomplish what all other methods have failed so far. Good luck to them...
