  on Denial: MPAA Pretends That No Big Sites Have Joined SOPA/PIPA Protests

  And yet they link to an article that says the opposite. Par for the course for the MPAA, claiming something says some thing it does not.

  on UK Advertising Board Says CD Jukebox With Hard Drive Can't Advertise That It Copies Music, Since That's Infringement

  I seem to remember way back when CD-Rs were becoming popular that the UK music industry issued a statement along the lines of while the copying of CDs is illegal, it would be a waste of resources to try to pursue individuals who make copies for their own use; and that they would concentrate on trying to stop commercial counterfeiting. Seems like they forgot about the first part, along with failing with the second.
