    They're going to cancel Talk like a Pirate Day and hire a bunch of navy cruisers to protect the shipping lanes from murderous thieves? or are we talking about copyright infringment where the 'injured' gets to make up numbers to say how hurt they are? We're talking about the second. They're looking into things like yesterday's automatic IR flashlight.

    Funny though, the BBC article talks about in-theatre technology and this article talks about distributing to "universities, companies, Internet service providers and other network operators," which aren't movie theatres.

    Personally, I'd rather we keep the pirates in order to combat global warming.
