Arnie promotes campaign to combat DVD piracy

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger returned to his entertainment roots today, joining his longtime friend, fellow action star Jackie Chan, to promote a public service campaign combating film piracy in China.

The rampant piracy of DVDs, fashion apparel, pharmaceuticals and other products has been a theme of the governor’s three-city trade mission, which began on Monday in Beijing. But the issue had not taken centre stage on his agenda until he reached Hong Kong, the last stop on his six-day itinerary.
