The writer and director of “Repo Man” and punk classic “Sid And Nancy,” Alex Cox asks, “But who are the real pirates?” Quoting Cox, “The MPAA is a rich lobby group, with powerful allies in the World Trade Organisation and an international copyright regime which favours corporate profits over individual freedoms. But is the MPAA justified in its war against the pirates? And are its claims of lost billions even credible?” Click here to read Cox’s full commentary at the Guardian Unlimited. On a side note, the Guardian also published Cox’s “Why we should join in an attack on the digital clones” commentary on the say day, different section.
