Yarrr! Entire company stolen by pirates

In the first ever known case of its kind (well, known by me anyway), electronics manufacturer NEC has been hit by pirates to the extent that the sneaky buggers have practically duplicated the entire organisation on the sly.

WANTED: Efficient production line workers with peg-legs. Captain Hook need not apply.

Thoughts?

DJ Billy You can't really dust for vomit.

On a slightly different note, there's a radio station on Sky called Yarr Radio. They don't seem to play any sea shanties though

*drunk*

Chambler A computer without Microsoft is like a chocolate cake without mustard.

It's bad enough if one product gets copied, but an entire company! I guess it's as close as it gets to an honest days work for a pirate
