The MPAA has been caught red handed committing copyright infringement with its university toolkit. You gotta love the irony.

Oh the irony, it's so delicious it should be fattening

Does this mean that mpaa uses tools, we (the community) made. But doesnt want to pay contribution. Is that not the same thing the MPAA acusing us for?

wait... hold that thought!

Does this mean we (the community) can scan/hack/monitor all the MPAA networks for use of iligaly activities and get away with it?

it also means we can add very bloated DRM into all GPL software just to make sure that they only use it on the one machine they downloaded it onto oh and of course a program to make sure that they only use it in a certain way also

i think this is the best news of the year i hope they get stung bad for this
