    Are the artists starving because of the MPAA? This seems like a stupid ad to air if they want people to know the disgraceful way they treat artists.

    Oh wait...

    Wow, isn't that great, just blame everything on the pirates. At the same time, they conveniently forget to mention how much artists actually get for what they do, and maybe they're starving just because the jobs don't pay them what they deserve.

    I'm not saying piracy is good, but all I know is, artists get screwed over by pretty much everyone. Supporting the MPAA won't mean that all those poor starving artists will suddenly live like rajahs. It'll be the CEOs etc. etc that get to live the good life.

    The only starving actors and actresses are anorexic and that's not because of a lack of money.
