One of the biggest organisations that fights piracy caught in the act themselves: clickety[^] Their excuse: clickety[^] Don't know if this is a repost, but I thought it was interesting enough to dare...:cool:

"High speed never compensates for wrong direction!" - unknownWell, that's double-edged. I can understand the outrage about the MPAA not doing as they preach. Their excuse is surprisingly similar to "I downloaded it, but noone else could listen to it*, and if I liked it, I would have paid the 25 Pounds". It wouldn't stand a second against an MPAA lawyer. OTOH I do not understand the outrage of how bad they did and red-handed they were caught. It is exactly the behavior that th Anti-MPAA core wants to let slide, so it's silly to call it the ultimate evil. * except my maybe neighbour because I turned the volume up, but he isn't at home often.

Sure. But regardless of whether you agree with MPAA in their strive for piracy fighting or not, it doesn't inspire any confidence to anyone if they don't practice what they preach. There's also a saying that goes something like "you don't need to be a bigger believer than the pope". In this case the "pope" was caught committing heresy.
