p2pnet.net News:- The movie studios’ John G. Malcolm and his merry band have been busy, this month.
Malcolm, an ex-US Justice Department deputy assistant attorney general, is now gainfully employed by the major movie studios’ MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), which has just released a flurry of new ‘gotcha’ fluff titles as part of its ever-popular 'click' flics.
The first, on August 25, is, MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY TAKES ACTION AGAINST PEER TO PEER MOVIE THIEVES HANDED OVER BY SEVERAL TORRENT SITES.
In it, Malcolm tells the tale of 286 people it’s victimizing, claiming their names were “given to the MPAA by torrent site operators who were shut down earlier this year”.
This is, not surprisingly, pure MPAA equine excreta. Malcolm wasn’t “given” anything by anyone. Names were coerced and/or culled from logs the studios got their hands on after using their vast financial and political resources to have BT sites such as Lokitorrent shut down.
Following this is the first of an August 26 trilogy, CHICAGO POLICE SHUT DOWN BASEMENT LAB OF LOCAL MOVIE PIRATE starring the Cook County Sheriff’s Department as the local law works for the MPAA, raiding the home of a Chicago man who was, “running a pirate DVD lab” in his basement.
“Police recovered enough computer and copying equipment to produce 140 counterfeit DVDs per hour,” says the MPAA, carefully crafting the basis for an addition to its collection of fanciful statistics.
Recovering “enough computer and copying equipment to produce 140 counterfeit DVDs per hour” does not, of course, mean the man was actually producing 140 counterfeit DVDs per hour. But expect to see lamestream media reports along the lines, “Cook County police have seized computers and equipment in an underground DVD operation. Movie pirates were manufacturing 140 illicit movie industry features an hour.”
