Oops: MPAA admits college piracy numbers grossly inflated
After commissioning ... study ... that showed collegiate file-swappers were responsible for 44 percent of movie studio "losses" to piracy, the MPAA then used the report ... to bludgeon Congress into considering legislation... Now the MPAA admits ... collegiate piracy accounts for only 15 percent of "losses."
