Piracy, The Economy and YOU

Did you ever wonder about the events that led to the horrors depicted in movies like The Road Warriorand Escape From New York?

Given the current mortgage and banking crisis, the relative weakness of the dollar and the skyrocketing price of oil, I've become very sensitive to any activity that undermines U.S. businesses. As America reduces emphasis on manufacturing hard goods and relies more on its Intellectual Property (IP), piracy is becoming less a nuisance and more of a true economic threat to safety of our families.

I think this PSA does a great job in framing the seriousness of piracy as a crime. Take a moment to let the message soak in and please pass it along to others. In 2010, the new terrorism is piracy, and extreme measures will have to implemented to fight this war. If we're not careful, the trenches in which this battle will be fought will be in our living rooms and offices.
