More MPAA equine excreta
p2pnet.net News:- “MyMovieMuse” is a Hollywood scam site fronted by its MPAA and designed to suck people into providing personal information about themselves by joining a fake ‘panel’; and from which specious stats can be issued.
“MyMovieMuse survey website, participants in MyMovieMuse surveys are asked to provide some Personal Information (e-mail address, state and zip code, gender, age, marital status, education, race/ethnicity, type of employer and income, motion picture viewing habits, and opinions about the motion picture industry and about types of motion pictures),” it says.
Looks like some people took it seriously and signed up. Either that, or the Hollywood hacks have been working overtime. Probably the latter.
Apparently, “64% of you would feel angry or violated if you found out that someone was selling a picture you painted on eBay,” and, “86% of you feel that creative ideas are property, just like furniture”.
AND, “One-third of you know that copyright protection came from the U.S. Constitution.”
It goes without saying that the MPAA doesn’t reveal anything about the sample – numbers, ages, etc – from which it draws these conclusions. But there’s more, and it all comes in a newsletter – the first.
Sadly, it probably won’t be the last.
Below is the entire thing in all its glory.
