Dear all,

For anyone in Edinburgh tomorrow:

http://www.edfilmfest.org.uk/movies/show/piracy__stealing_booty/

"Why should you care about film and video piracy if you can get a DVD 
cheaper than the retail price? Film piracy is theft. Black market DVDs are 
not just terrible quality but deprive the filmmakers of millions in income 
each year. And unauthorised downloading and file sharing of films is 
illegal. Last year the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) confiscated 
almost 3 million pirate DVDs. Why should you care? Come and talk with the 
industry experts about film piracy can and see a popular feature film which 
looks so much better on the big screen than on any pirate DVD or download! 
Hosted by a special guest presenter - details online."

Andres
