| They'll never learn... Interesting to see the premise of the MPAA losing money is due to piracy. It has nothing to do with the content that they're promoting. Hopefully this will blow up in their face. I think the President elect better get up to snuff on the invalidity of their argument as well as the "metered billing is the only way to avoid a bandwidth crunch" fallacy!

Who has extra money to spend on CD's, DVDs and the like when you are either out of a job, your bills exceed your income and you are heavily in debt, or you are just waiting for the axe to fall on your job because your employer is on shaky ground?
The **AA's need to wake up and realize that everyone in business is losing money right and left, and it is not due to piracy alone, if applicable.

P2P piracy probably doesnt even cost them 50 million, however the big time piracy rings that usually are linked to the asian or russian crime rings cost them billions.

It's DVDs and video games that give tons more for your dollar than a $15 audio CD with just an hour's worth of music. |
