Techdirt: NBC Exec: Think Of The Poor Corn Farmers Hurt By Movie Piracy
“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.”

Say WHAT??? Talk about a complete break with reality…

   OK. I guess that means if people didn’t buy new computers, I would make more money fixing up their old boxen, eh? I guess I’ll have to sue HP, Dell, et al for restricting my business. Of course, they can just forgo all the pain and drama and pay me a small sum, like $10,000,000.00 or so, and I’ll let it slide….

   Hey, in that case, I’ll buy LOTS of popcorn! Win/win situation!
