MPAA wants to be like IRS

Thanks to Mike at Techdirt for pointing this article out:

It isn't clear if the movie industry's lawsuits have deterred piracy, but Mr. Glickman said the lawsuits were needed. He compared the association to the Internal Revenue Service: The tax-collection agency continues to audit people, even though it is only able to identify a small percentage of cheaters. "We've got to enforce what rules there are," Mr. Glickman said.

And just like the IRS, the MPAA hopes to ruin the lives of innocent American taxpayers. Good luck with that.
