Ars has a story (http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060915-7754.html) up today that deals with movie piracy and how easy it really is to get away with it. This is certainly a growing problem for the movie industry on many levels.
Piracy—it's not just for the high seas anymore. In fact, according to the MPAA, 44 percent of their piracy losses in the US come from college students. This claim can only be made with a straight face, of course, if you believe that college students would otherwise be purchasing retail copies of every film that they download (we've discussed the problems with these numbers before).
