Good advice. Hence the need for more complete/detailed/accurate information.

Absolutely. Besides, the only "fight" you're referring to is from the
media industry towards citizens, not the other way around (I know that
some Pirates refer to our action as a "battle for freedom", but it is
mostly about pedagogy and information rather than violent actions).

Oh, by the way: I am the only one to find it weird that the
Intellectual Property day has been placed on the same day than the
Chernobyl disaster anniversary?
