Talk about pot calling the kettle nasty names. There’s some pretty damning new evidence showing that Hollywood studios, the very ones who cry their eyes out over revenue lost to all those nasty pirates, are in fact guilty themselves of using a bit of BitTorrent on the side. Oops.
The report, published by TorrentFreak, shows that employees of some of the massive studios like Paramount, Disney and Sony Pictures were all guilty of downloading popular films and TV series for their viewing pleasure. Considering they’re members of the Motion Picture Association of America, a group well-known for its harsh stance against piracy and overly-dramatic ads, this is pretty damn hypocritical. Yes, it’s not the first time this sorta thing’s happened — the RIAA and US Department of Homeland security have been caught with their pants down before — but still, this is yet another blow to Hollywood’s crusade for justice.
Funniest of all, though, is the amount of, ahem, adult content being downloaded at work, particularly at Warner Bros. Maybe it’s material to ‘stimulate’ their creativity. That, or they’re all just dirty, dirty boys. [TorrentFreak]

If it is senior executive, than the hypocrisy charge has bite. But these studious have 1000s of employees, most in menial jobs. You can’t accuse Warner Bros of hypocrisy because Joe in the mail room torrents porn.
Nonsense. If you work for a company whose business is selling films and whose whole philosophy is that downloading is evil, then you should be on board with that.
it’s like the receptionist at the Department for Work and Pensions doing a bit of benefit fraud.
Electroweb, you need a dictionary (hope you got one for Xmas). The subject was hypocrisy. If joe in the mail room isn’t on board, then joe might be doing something bad, but it ain’t hypocrisy on Warner Bros part. For WB to be hypocritical, WB needs to b the ones doing that.
In other words, it is exactly like receptionist at the dept for work and pensions doing a bit of benefit fraud. Would you say the govt is hypocritical if she were?
I would say she was solely being hypocritical and I would shoot her right between her beady eyes.
Meh…
