I had an epiphany the other day….

For years we have been told that file sharing is illegal.
That music piracy is the tool of the Terrorist gangs and is their major source
of financing.

The content industry has always calculated 15% as the value
attributed to physical piracy.

This allowance is entered at the commencement of every year
as a “cost” of doing business.

Recently the Government have got in on the act and attempted
to use “Terrorist Financing Copyright infringement” as the justification to
introduce ACTA and other legislation designed to enforce economic dependence on
America.

If illegal file sharing is damaging the Content industry to
the extent that they claim – then surely it must also be damaging those same
terrorists that depend on physical piracy to raise money to buy guns (from America
arms dealers of course).

In other words – if file sharing can be done for free – how are
those poor terrorists ever going to be able to afford to buy SAM’s or C4 or
other “neat stuff” so necessary for blowing up large buildings?

They can’t. Their funding from file sharing is drying up. To
the point where there are noticeably less and less acts of Terrorism.

That’s a good thing.

So do your patriotic duty – download a file – don’t buy the
copied DVD at the markets……. We may save the world yet.

From the Tongue in cheek department.
