All,
Well it seems the MPAA's PR campaign has fallen on deaf ears
and suing 12 yr. old girls and old grand mothers had little effect
on the attitudes of a cross section of good americans. I can only
guess this kind of thing is not surprising when lawyers are leading
the MPAA's PR effort...
(26 January 2007)
A survey of approximately 2,600 Americans found that 59 percent believe
parking in a fire lane is a more serious offense than downloading
copyrighted movies from the Internet without permission. Just 40
percent of those surveyed said downloading movies was a serious offense,
although 78 percent said shoplifting a DVD was a serious offense.
