MPAA Study Links Piracy to Gangs and Terrorists
Written by Ben Jones on March 04, 2009

A new study by the RAND corporation has attempted to put the focus on  
‘movie piracy’ squarely on the shoulders of terrorist groups and  
criminal gangs. The report, which claims to have been ‘peer reviewed’,  
seems to show that no matter which gang, thug, or terrorist – they all  
pirate movies.

.....from the preface on Page iii:  "The study was made possible by a  
grant from the Motion Picture Association (MPA)"

This is pretty surprising coming from RAND.   :(
