Stumbled across this Ars Technica report on the MPAA’s newly-released list of top 25 movie piracy schools. On the list:

24. Stanford University – 405
25. University of California at Berkeley – 398

Alright! Way to make up for years of losing Big Game. Respect.

Also,

A number of schools have the dubious distinction of being on both the MPAA and the RIAA list. The overachievers are: Ohio University (#1 RIAA/#18 MPAA), Purdue University (#2, #5), University of Nebraska at Lincoln (#3/#13), UMASS (#6/#9), Michigan State (#7/#20), North Carolina State (#9/#14), University of South Florida (#11/#23), Boston University (#15/#3), and the University of Michigan (#18/#10).

Am I the only one who thinks that list reads like a NCAA sports ranking list, with AP ranking followed by USA Today ranking? For that matter, why can’t piracy be a NCAA sport?

That’s what my comment spam just told me.

Three months is an awful long time to spend feeling sorry for yourself, right? I’m back, as soon as I get over this inconveniently-timed bout of weekend flu. In the meantime, I’m on twitter, just like half a million other new signups.

Besides, if I don’t bother posting again, I can claim this was just an April Fool’s special.
