FACT: a third of all Britons are online pirates

In 2007, the UK population numbered 60,776,238 [and counting], according to the CIA World Fact Book.

And no less than a third of them are file sharing pirates.

So says another Fact statement, but this time from the MPAA’s ‘Farcical Approaches to Copyright Transgressions,’ or ‘Federation Against Copyright Theft,’ depending on which side of which fence you’re sitting.

I think it's because they have Captain Jack Sparrow in their genes!

Such a shame, they used to be gentle seafaring folks.

Captain Jack Sparrow sails in the USA too, and he should.

And really, there are a LOT of artists that love to have you file share their music, it promotes their songs and their business.

One artist would tell you its stealing and another artist would tell you it promotes my songs and is great for business.

Right and wrong is only in the mind of the beholder and not at MPAA.
