Chinese Company Decision Sees More MPAA Falsehoods Revealed

[GhostShip]

Some people just cannot refrain from "bending" the truth in their court claims.

Hollywood's MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) was able to use its weight to get a Chinese court to order Sohu.com to pay $140,000 for allegedly distributing Hollywood movies online.

And ironically, "A subsidiary of Sohu.com Inc. also must publish an acknowledgment of wrongdoing, the Motion Picture Association said," according The Associated Press.

Meanwhile, "the movie industry's claims that this type of piracy in China cost them $244 million last year is tempered by the fact that later on in the article they admit that a large part of the reason so many American movies are pirated in China is that the Chinese government has regulations in place that limit the number of US films that can be shown in the country," says Techdirt, adding:
"They even admit that half of the movies Sohu was distributing weren't even available in Chinese theaters due to these restrictions.
 In other words, they didn't actually lose any money at all on those films.

How moronic to continue making false claims and then admitting you have deceived not only the consumer but also the courts. :roll:

Don't give them an option to see it
And fine them if they do
How low can you sink......
