Welcome
If you don’t think about what is happening in your society today you’ll lose the ability to influence it.
A big statement – but a true one. This website can help you influence your society in one big area — film and DVD piracy. All of you have illegally downloaded films or DVDs, or know someone who has. It’s easy to do. But is it the right thing to do — for you, for the creators of the films and DVDs, and for your society?
Well, that’s up to you to decide. That’s what this website does — helps you to decide.
How? By giving you access to some units of work about film and DVD piracy, by giving you some interactives about it, and by letting you know what the facts and the law are. And what the consequences are if you choose to be a pirate. So, click on the area you’re interested in, keep an open mind, and see what you learn.
