A MPAA retraction

Unable or unwilling to hide their mistake any longer, the MPAA released a statement Tuesday correcting a three-year-old study concerning piracy on college campuses. The years of silence should cause people to question the biased nature of the MPAA's studies. While they are not more susceptible then any other group or person, they are biased. Therefore, studies paid for by the MPAA are inherently going to carry that bias. An independent study is needed and should be conducted if lawmakers, university presidents and other concerned parties want a clear and accurate picture of the economic effect of piracy. A study not bought and paid for by 'the home team'.
