    Piracy funds terrorism dont you read all the warnings on legit DVD's? :)

    Seriouly though as far as I know counterfitting of various things including DVD's is a funding source for various crimnal and paramilitary groups (Real IRA). Thats based on various articles iv seen and things iv heard. Its easy money. Iv heard of people making health 2nd income off it. What ever about what you download and use your self I dont agree with selling it on.

    Funny story, a friend of mine said he could get me anything I wanted (DVD's). I told him I was grand but that he should warn his source to keep a low profiles. My friend says

    "Its grand, sure he's up in court for membership of the IRA next week anyway"

    Other then what my friend said I cannt confirm anything else...

    I think you'll find it's "membership of an illegal organisation" he's up for.


    "Up an illegal organisation!"

    If one wanted to go to one of these markets/places just to see what a copy looks like, so one wouldn't get stung when one might be possibly buying a "legit" DVD, where would one go in Dublin rather then outside the Pale?
    Purely for research purposes of course.
