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?
