[Ecommerce] MPAA Under Investigation for Illegal NYPD Payoffs

[Jeff Williams]

All,

  Selfritiousness gone amuck?

 The New York Post is reporting that two NYPD officers are being
investigated for taking illegal payoffs from the MPAA for busting
sellers of pirated DVDs. According to the article, MPAA investigators
would tell the cops where pirated movies were being sold, which is
perfectly legal, but, after the bust, they'd give them several
hundred dollars in gratuities, which is illegal. Naturally, the MPAA
denies all of this.
