"The American businesses that are victimized on a daily basis by global Internet thieves are among the most innovative industries in this nation and we welcome the Administration's support of these American businesses."

Right... the film and music industries are among the least innovative industries, as Fred Wilson reminds us http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2012/01/scarcity-is-a-shitty-busines...

Thieves is a strong word for copyright infrigiment.

MPAA is representing global thieves, they steal opportunities, expression and free culture from everyone who doesnt own intellectual property. They deprive all independent artists from mixing and contributing to society. MPAA is victimizing itself on a daily basis, while oppressing all independent producers, oppressing all small job-creators.

Not to mention that the quality of the majority of content produced by these industries sucks.

They are not in the business of producing quality, they are in the business of producing content that is consumed. Big difference.
