Anyway, call it what you will, copyright infringement, copyright theft or piracy, check out the latest ICC report on the cost to the creative industries of piracy (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8573162.stm). In the UK alone, losses could be up to 254,000 jobs and 7.8bn euros by 2015. At the Trust, we think that along with education campaigns there's a clear role for this type of enforcement of the law which helps ensure the thousands of people involved behind the scenes in making films can earn a living.
