This was part of a spoof article on humour news website hayibo.com, which a director of the self-proclaimed oldest intellectual property firm in the country - specialising in piracy - fell for hook, line and sinker.

Attorney Vanessa Ferguson, who specialises in anticounterfeiting and branding at DM Kisch Attorneys, quoted the tongue-in-cheek hayibo.com story as official "research" in an article.

The piece has since gone viral on social networking site, Twitter.

In her article, Ferguson suggests that it is indeed true that Somali pirates started their careers by illegally downloading music.

Lots of dodgy lawyers around. Advocate Barby, this Vanessa 'Hayibo' Ferguson, Henry......
 
Looks like Vanessa has also been deeply affected by all this piracy stuff:


"I first got a taste for piracy when I made a mixed tape for my girlfriend in 1992," said buccaneer Pugwash Mengistu. "When I saw the effect piracy had on women I just had to take it to the next level."

Nice find! :D:D
 
In her defence - it does say she is on maternity leave. :rolleyes:

A term that I learnt about pregnant women (from pregnant women) is "porridge brain". I never made it up - they admitted it's a fact. :D I have 3 children and can vouch for it.

Then she shouldn't be making statements, though!

Edit: PS, I'm a man, if you couldn't tell. lol
