A really interesting news has been published today at Ars Technica: MPAA admits college piracy numbers grossly inflated. Someone could find this news to be shocking, but I think that the correct word to describe it is "disgusting".
Based on a 2005 study commissioned to LEK Consulting, the MPAA stated that collegiate file-swappers were responsible for 44 percent of movie studio "losses" to piracy, but the real value emerged from the study is only 15 percent. So, the MPAA fed fake values to the Congress trying to obtain a new regulamentation favoring the motion pictures industry.
Of course, no mea culpa from the MPAA...
