But does purchasing one of these discs mean that you could be supporting terrorism? According to the IFPI, it does.  The group yesterday released a list of 10 "inconvenient truths" about music, and it makes for interesting reading.

When it comes to stopping commercial piracy, we applaud the IFPI for its work. When it comes to disparaging those who favor a softer copyright policy, Ars has an inconvenient truth of our own to share with the music industry: these are the sort of tactics that only entrench consumer opposition.

As they in fact mostly speak about sharing under the "counterfeit products umbrella ", it does sound as ALL of it supports terrorism.

And that put the number of terrorisms wordwide quite BIG BIG... Even at 100 'IFPI defined terrorists' by plane , i'am not sure there is enought planes on earth for them .
And , no way , not enought towers....

It's actually my friend Brianna wearing a (already broken) pinata on her head.  More drunken pictures here, if you're curious:
