Harmless

apparently last year $8.3 billion dollars was the cost of ACTUAL piracy to the global economy, this is where people are killed and ACTUAL stuff is stolen. If the government put as much effort into catching these ACTUAL pirates as they do in trying to stop a few downloads, you know, perspective and all, then the world would be a safer place for real people to go. Perhaps if the Somalians in the boats were trying to sell DVDs of avatar rather than kidnap innocents then something would be done.

I strongly suspect the Disney suits were actually more worried about Johnny Depp glamorising piracy than any weirdness of his performance when he made the first Pirates movie. They were probably terrified about him flooding the 17th Century Caribbean with hookey copies of Fantasia.
