Here in England, at the start of most videos & dvds, there is a warning about piracy that seems really over the top-- it features a smithy and a branding iron and the phrase "don't touch the hot stuff" and "copyright is cool" and talks about how piracy funds organized crime and terrorism... and it seems really un-believable, unreal.
but apparently it's not over the top-- it is portraying a real picture-- piracy of dvds has overtaken drug sales in the run for illegal money... check it out in this article.
*sigh*
makes you wonder.
