Anti-Piracy Company Pirates Queen-Issued Coat of Arms

Written by enigmax on October 18, 2010 

This year has seen an explosion of companies all trying to cash in on the ‘turn piracy into profit’ mantra. These companies, many of them involving lawyers, are copying other people’s work like crazy – they’re even copying from each other. Today we bring news that one of these companies has taken a Coat of Arms issued by Elizabeth I in 1600, modified it, and used it for their own commercial purposes.

By day they spout their anti-filesharing rhetoric to the world in their inimitable corporate legalese. By night they’re spending the ill-gotten booty generated from their schemes and, surprise, surprise – infringing other people’s copyrights like top-rate hypocrites. There have been so many ‘indiscretions’ in recent times it’s hard to keep up, so please excuse us if we accidentally leave a couple of dozen out...
