I think you are confused as to hatterrorism involves.
Terrorists use tools of fear (Semtex, an explosive made in the Czech Republic, Eagle cocktails, media stories, etc.), it has little connection to things related to distribution of current release films (Star Wars Episode 3) or music in MP3 format or whatever. If the material is released for free (as in, people are getting the contents for no money), this does not help finance anything and defeats the arguement.

I can tell you what you need to make a bomb, it is fairly easy and the materials are readily available in any hardare store or major food store chain. Using what I gave you (as instructions), you could then go out and cause distruption and fear (say by blowing up a building and killing or injuring innocent civilians in order to get your message accross (IRA, Alkiada, PLO, etc.). Terrorism is a method of getting attention through terror and destruction, meaning that people generally get physically injured, maimed of killed. Ther is no connection!

This in only a for of marketing tripe to keep you in fear and controled! Once a given minority has this fear instilled, people will react in a predicable manner (usually involving fear). The current US administration is using these tactics (via terror warnings, etc.) just as some small terrorist faction would in a middle eastern country. If they get you to rear what they can do to you, then they win!

The link between terrorists and copyright infringement is completely bogus. Alas, few people will pick up on this and they will be controlled through this fear.
