What makes me laugh the most is the use of the argument that piracy aids terrosium. HAHAHA Oh wait the big film and music companys all own a large amount of shares in weapons maufacturing companys, which then go on and sell their weapons to terroist cells?

[...] The BBC Rehashes MPAA Propaganda – "As a government owned corporation the BBC has a duty to educate, and be evenhanded in its dealings with subjects.

Ok, first things first, since when in hell is piracy more dangerous than drugs, alcohol abuse and co? Seriously if 1/4 of UK population does download movies, then its a common voice of democracy saying “Piracy is here to stay”.

For those doubting the BBC’s ability to air both sides of the argument, have a listen to the last 3 minutes of the latest Mark Kermode film reviews. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/kermode starts at 48:30-ish) to paraphrase “I’m sick and tired of the movie industry complaining about how much damage piracy is doing, catch up guys, they need to be doing what the music industry has been doing and give the audience more options to view the films legally”

For those of you who don’t know who Mark Kermode is, he’s a film reviewer with an almost cult following which is truly international thanks to live streaming of the radio show and the free podcast, and he is often out of step with most film reviewers on some things.
