Is it ****.Most cinema is American sourced and everyone who knows anything is aware that the corporate *********** government of the US is passing all these insane copyright laws to protect their rich taxpayers.

Point one: The BBC reporting on this is actually the entertainment industry trying to blow the issue out of proportion to maximize entertainment industry profits.
Point two: Pirated films don't "cost" hundreds of millions .... They cause the entertainment industry to loose hundreds of millions[?] in potential profits.
Point three: The changes orchestrated by the entertainment and s/w programming industries in the form of the World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty in 1996, effectively gave corporations perpetual copyrights and ownership of a countries culture. This allows corporations to charge people for intellectual property (s/w, films, recordings, music, ...) that should be, and would be, in the public domain under the old copyright laws. So who's the crook?
Point four: A father of four dies in a job related accident where the employer is negligent. In most states his widow and children will receive little more than $100,000 in compensation. The employer who's negligence caused the death? No jail time; just an OSHA fine.
A poor schmuck down loads pirated songs and the courts are awarding the music industry tens, or hundreds of thousands in "damages", per song and demanding jail time. Where is the justice and fairness?Like (1)

They are overpriced anyway. There are sites in china and russia that are not very reliable and you can get virus if you don't have a good anti vurus app.
