January's Toast to Tech Evil

comforteagle writes "In this month's mocking toast To Evil! Danny O'Brien laments the holiday habit of trying to hide one's evilness from Father Christmas, but finds those evil tech companies can't help being who they are. 'I'm really hoping that in their next batch of cinema adverts, the MPAA addresses this, and shows a grumbling adware developer instead of a Hollywood set-painter. The piracy issue, it affects us all: the construction guy, the lighting guy. And me, the guy who installed all that crap on your mum's computer. And also an awful lot of Los Angeles-based cocaine dealers. Why doesn't anyone think of them?'"

How is that exploiting people?

The MPAA was very clear about the fact they only want torrents of MPAA member media pulled. They never said you can't have torrents of other stuff up. Stupid /. zealots only concluded that because they assume

Linux live cd == MPAA latest hit

for some reason.
