THE MPAA's LAWSUITS and CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS
An Unbelievably Stupid Idea

In the news lately, we have heard of the movement of the MPAA to
not only follow the RIAA's incredibly wrongheaded "sue 'em all"
program, but also, an attempt to mount a criminal investigation against
Bit Torrent users.

One must stand in awe of the level of stupidity and shortsightedness
that this "plan" reveals. Firstly, the people they are attacking, are their
customers. Even the nefarious RIAA had to admit that even among
the heaviest of downloaders, the majority of them were still purchasing
music, and therefore, were customers of RIAA companies.

The same is true of people who are sharing movie files. People who
are trading movies, love movies by and large, and as lovers of movies,
they also rent movies, watch pay per view on cable, go to physical
theaters to watch new releases, and otherwise, patronize MPAA
member movies.

Any program or plan which involves attacking the very people upon
which you depend for your operating capital and profits, is a failed
venture from the start at the least, and at the worst, amounts to
a business committing hara kiri.

It is analogous to the city boy attacking the farmers he depands
on for his food.

So, MPAA, good luck. Attacking your customers, what a plan...NOT !
