I hope Scottish folks are not taken in by this publicity stunt.

Industry watchdogs are so worried about piracy in Scotland that they are launching a bizarre amnesty to persuade customers here to give up their dodgy DVDs.
A lorry will tour the country, giving the public the chance to hand in illegal discs to be destroyed. Those who take up the offer will be given legitimate DVDs in exchange.

The amnesty will begin tomorrow in Edinburgh's Castle Street before the lorry moves on to other parts of the country.
Industry giants Universal Pictures and Warner Home Video UK are backing the DVD amnesty and Edinburgh City Council are also giving their support.

Oh and spot the politician who just read the Fact Handout sheet , it must go like this " please mention the word criminal gangs, terrorist activity, or paedophiles to gain more publicity."

Councillor Sheila Gilmore said: "The sale of pirate DVDs causes huge losses every year to the industry and is thought to be linked to more serious forms of criminal activity."

It seems to me that purchasing DVD, s makes more money available to terrorists and criminals, just they would prefer you called them "politicians"
