AFACT (Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft) has struck a devastating blow against Chinese DVD pirates by enlisting the help of global entertainment ambassadors Sam Clark and Natalie Blair (from TV's "Neighbours") to speak out against piracy.
I'm being a little unfair. Clark and Blair are actually speaking to Australian schoolkids about why downloading TV and films illegally is wrong. Who is out there illegally supplying download networks with episodes of "Neighbours"? Anyway, I'm sure this will convince the kids to be good and spend their money on legit copies.
AFACT has also detailed the traits of your average pirate and contrary to popular belief they are not wooden-legged and accompanied by a parrot; they are evil males, aged 16 - 24.
They've also announced "Ninety percent of pirated initial releases come from camcording in movie theatres," a figure which I'm highly skeptical about.
I guess its better for business to propagate an image of evil asians lurking in movie theatres with DV cameras than respectable AMPAS members...
