MPAA seeks P2P enforcer for antipiracy ops


Quakester2000 used our news submit to tell us about an article he saw over at the Register. It seems the MPAA is looking for someone to track down and bring to justice the scurvy dogs of the piracy underworld. The pay isn't bad except the job is in California so you may have to get a part time job as well. Possibly at a Starbucks where you could infiltrate the wireless crowd that gathers with their notebooks.

Enforcer wanted! The Motion Picture Association of America is seeking California-based Internet Enforcement Manager, a "mid to senior" level post at a salary of -$ 60 to 75,000. The manager"s responsibilities will include "overseeing all outside vendor development & usage... examining new piracy methods & protocols, overseeing Internet anti-piracy operations worldwide... [and] evidence-gathering efforts in support of litigation or criminal enforcement." So the successful candidate will be responsible for finding the people to bust, for the introduction of new methods to find the people to bust, and for keeping pace in the file-sharing arms race. The MPA says the job requires "advanced understanding of Internet protocols & networking systems," and rams this home by listing them: "including TCP/IP, DNS, WHOIS, IRC, FTP, HTTP, P2P & NNTP."

If you think you have what it takes and are a resident of California, take a hike over to Yahoo! Hot Jobs.
