Ordinary punters who download bootleg copies of video games have been labelled terrorists by the leader of a prominent games industry copyright-protection body.
The harsh verdict comes from Yutaka Kubota, who is president of Japan's Association of Copyright for Computer Software, a trade body with close links to Nintendo.
"This is an issue that affects our national interests and, personally, I see it as a form of information terrorism that is crushing Japan's industry" he told the magazine.

This man is an idiot. I am not supporting piracy, but this is the worst form of hyperbole I've seen in quite a while.
