Fully one third of all American teenagers and college students are thieves, says a new Hollywood report.

“Research conducted by the MPAA revealed that one-third of all internet piracy is committed by college students in the U.S,” says the Hollywood ‘trade’ organization, going on:

“The vast majority of Internet piracy in the U.S. – 71 percent – is committed by individuals between the ages of 16 and 24.”

In its specious Red Carpets Ratings service, “Piracy is theft, and pirates are thieves, plain and simple,” the MPAA states unequivocally. “Downloading a movie off of the Internet is the same as taking a DVD off a store shelf without paying for it.”
