Talk:Federation Against Copyright Theft
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Would it be worthwhile pointing out that it's not possible to steal a copyright - so FACT is somewhat inappropriately named? Their adverts repeatedly refer to theft, whereas they are looking to prevent violation of copyright. Just a thought. StripeyBadger 12:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well actually it's theft of copyritten material, not theft of copyright OrangeDog 12:14, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hi OD, I'm not really convinced it's theft, though a more eloquent explanation of the controversy around this than I could give is on the Intellectual Property page. The use of the term 'theft' by FACT seems a little arbitrary. StripeyBadger 13:32, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- To be honest, it's probably somewhat of a backronym, given that "Federation" isn't really used in Britain much, but hey, it's their choice OrangeDog 16:20, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- how about information about one of their anti piracy propaganda pieces where they claim that piracy funds things like organised crime and terrorism? --124.168.213.202 (talk) 01:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV problems with this page
Reading through this page I see a pretty significant BIAS into discrediting FACT and the things they do. It really needs someone to write the other side of the arguement to give this article a more NPOV —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.21.25.116 (talk) 23:10, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
