NBC Universal : P2P hurts the hardworking farm workers =))

In a really odd statement made recently in a hearing with the FCC, NBC Universal tried to win over the hearts and minds of politicians by making the outrageous claim that p2p and file sharing related piracy hurts the wallets of poor corn farmers simply trying to make a living !

They noted:

“Because of our nation’s interlocking economy, two-thirds of the lost earnings and lost jobs are in industries other than motion picture production. For example, in the absence of movie piracy, video retailers would sell and rent more titles. Movie theatres would sell more tickets and popcorn. Corn growers would earn greater profits and buy more farm equipment.”


crappy aint it ?? lolzz ..
