| MPAA admits mistakes in 2005 downloading study The MPAA claimed that 44% of the movie industry's domestic losses to piracy was committed by college students. It turns out that the figures were a bit off....and now they say that only 15% can be attributed to students. And that is if you accept the undoubtedly bloated figures in a study whose methodology was never examined by outside researchers! http://www.newsweek.com/id/98009 This study was part of the justification for a bill in Congress that tries to link federal funding to increased monitoring of college networks. |

| Re: MPAA admits mistakes in 2005 downloading study *shrugs* I suspect they're also exaggerating their success at curbing illegal downloads too

Admitting that you've illegally downloaded movies/songs and need help to process/burn is comparable to robbing a bank, and walking into the bank the next day holding the bags of money to deposit them into your account.
