I think this is a fine example of what people can expect from the MPAA, the RIAA and Hollywood in general.
Backstabbing, cutthroat policies under a veneer of education and refinement.
What does that remind of already ?
Ah yes, the mafia.

Amusingly I think the MPAA are losing more money with these stupidity projects than through actual pirating. After all, most pirates would not buy something they could not get for free, they simply wouldn't.

As for backstabbing bastards like a person mentioned... when you stick a knife into someone's backside, always remember that no one will ever trust you again. 
If you consider that there is no honor amongst thieves...you should have thought it over a few times. Especially for a shitty 15k. Not like a person could have retired to some caribbean island with that.

The MPAA and the RIAA are the real pirates, they don't care how they get the info about users, they just want to clear their reputation. They are fighting a desperate fight, trying to control the internet and us. They even say: "When you are downloading mp3's, you're downloading COMMUNISM!" Come on, do you think that we are that stupid, naive?? Lower the prices, criminals!

How stupid was this guy to think that the MPAA would need him once they'd taken out a bunch of file sharers. The MPAA complains about "piracy" and money loss, but it doesn't really look like they have lost any money, what with the amount of money that gets made at the box office. Not to mention the exorbitant paychecks that movie stars already get for lame acting and bad storylines.
