MPAA tweaks numbers in download study
The Motion Picture Association of America has admited that the study they commissioned in 2005, which claimed that college students are responsible for 44% of illegal film downloading, was wrong. This study was used to pressure schools to enforce stronger limits on file-sharing, as well as to back legislation now before the House of Representatives that would require them do so. The MPAA blames "human error" for the false statistic and now only blames college students for 15% of illegal downloads.
