Title: MPAA Study on College Downloading is flawed

From 44% down to 15% is quite a margin of error.

"Margin of error," hell.  That kind of discrepancy can only be explained as a willful misstatement -- or as my momma always used to call it, a lie.

I don't have links to the older issues, but they have pulled this "gross accidental overestimate" before.  When I see them publish numbers now, I immediately attribute the results to an estimate that they pulled out of their own butt.

Hopefully, all of these BS "facts" will come back to haunt them someday.  Sooner or later, their systematic malice has to come out in a court of law, right?
