The UK media regulatory Ofcom is unhappy with ITV's use of Arma 2 footage in a documentary about the IRA having bought weapons from Libya. Viewers "were misled" by it.
The programme caused a "significant breach of audience trust," and Ofcom have ruled it "materially misleading," breaching Rule 2.2 of the Communications Act of 2003. Bad ITV, bad.

Arma 2's Bohemia Interactive has revealed a depressing figure of PC piracy, that there are "100 (failed) attempts" to play a pirated copy of Arma 2 online to every legitimate 3.
This shows an "extremely widespread" piracy problem on PC, especially for a "mid-sized" PC focused studio like Bohemia. The stats are "undoubtedly much worse" for singe player.

A week and a half ago, an ITV documentary which was investigating Colonel Gaddhafi’s alleged support of the IRA contained footage of a helicopter being shot down by terrorists.
The episode was the first of ITV's "Exposure" series. The issue was that the footage was instantly recognized by ArmA II fans as a clip from a gameplay trailer for the PC first person shooter.
