The business model sure to fail...

Movie Industry Admits It Overstated Piracy on Campus
The math was wrong by a factor of three; the new estimate is down to 15 percent of the industry’s losses. The A.P. deemed that a “mistake” in its headline, while bloggers joyously chose words like “bogus,” “botched,” “grossly inflated” and “lying” in theirs.

The M.P.A.A. said the original figure, from a 2005 study, was wrong because of “human error,” without elaborating. In a statement obtained by Inside Higher Education, the association said it was taking the error “very seriously” and vowing to investigate how it happened. But the association stuck to its offensive against college students...

Again, how much do they hate their customers? Hate them back!!! Don't buy any of their crap!
