MPAA Piracy Survey - Junk Research
Cpt_Corelli writes "Alwayson network claims that a recent survey conducted by Online Testing Exchange (OTX) and distributed by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) is crap. The MPAA's summary of the survey claims, among other hard-to-believe assertions, that 'about one in four Internet users have downloaded a movie.' (It turns out this isn't true, but this is the factoid that was heard around the world the following week.) When did you stop trusting sponsored 'research'?"
rather tha posting a story like this, they prefer to champion nothing stories that advance the editors' agenda.

Do they object to me downloading Finding Nemo and watching it becuase they don't like me? No, they object because they're not getting paid
You're right, that's exactly why they object. But that's not the point. Lets say you create something (movie, song, software, new type of propulsion, etc) should I be able to take a copy of it just because I don't feel its worth what you are asking?
True, breaking copyright and stealing are two different things. However, just because it is not stealing does not give people the right to do so. The way to change a law is NOT by breaking it.
