About Me
My name is Michael Forrester. Thanks for visiting my website. I hope to provide you with some valuable information. Have you heard about online piracy? Maybe you have heard the term, but don’t know what it is. I had a friend who had to seek out a lawyer after he was accused of committing online piracy. He had no idea what it was or that he had committed a crime. My friend was playing an online game. The people playing the game were talking about a movie, and my friend said he had never seen it. Someone told him that if he wanted to see it he could get it for free. He was given a website where he could download it. This was the beginning of the mess. I’m going to share some information with you so you won’t make the same mistake.
