AUSTRALIA is being flooded with pirate DVDs - and the money is helping fund global terrorism.
The number of pirate discs recovered by police and customs during the first quarter of this year has already matched the total for last year.
And Interpol is warning that counterfeit discs have overtaken drugs as the biggest source of income for organised crime gangs based in South-East Asia.
A United Nations report said 1kg of counterfeit discs was worth more than the same weight of marijuana.
Interpol secretary general Ronald Noble said piracy was becoming the preferred method of funding for a number of terror groups. "
