Canadians compare pirated software to being rear-ended and stalked! WTF?!

I’m in Vancouver.  I am a wee bit tired after an early morning web cam interview with Kevin Smith, a late-morning geekfest with Leo Laporte and Tod Maffin, and a long flight last night.  But, despite my lack of sleep, I am pretty sure that I have read the silliest press release of all time (from a well-known agency that reps Microsoft). 

I have never been rear-ended in a car or stalked, but I’m pretty sure that both are A LOT scarier than having pirated software affect my computer.  Someone please tell me this is a joke?  Someone please tell me that I didn’t just get this?  Ever since I read this, I have felt sad, angry, and exposed.  I would pay money to get some background info on these stats.

Here is the press release…
