MPAA Hiring Anti-Piracy Squad
January 29, 2004
Thomas Mennecke

A few sites have been posting an interesting job advertisement from the MPAA (Motion Picture Associate of America.) While the MPAA hasn't suffered nearly the same amount of torture as their RIAA brethren, movie "piracy" has become a great concern to this organization.

However, unlike music piracy, it is doubtful that movie piracy will cause similar financial damage any time soon. The MPAA's saving grace is that it is very difficult and expensive to recreate the movie experience in the home. While mp3 or music files can be played anywhere, anytime with relatively inexpensive equipment, the same cannot be said for movies.

So far, the MPAA has been able to avoid much of the hatred that has been directed at the RIAA due to its somewhat more intelligent handling of online piracy. Unlike the RIAA, the movie industry has avoided the idea of suing its own customers. Although some of its tactics have been called into question (such as its attempt to ban screeners), the MPAA seems to be learning from the RIAA's mistakes....

Whilst I'm not qualified (dont meet 100% of the criteria) I'm sure I could do a better job than what they are currently doing.

Hell I'll give it a shot,even if I don't agree with their draconian measures $60,000 is good money.

"working knowledge of DMCA & copyright law preferred"

I can backup a DVD and read the FBI warning at the beginning,does that qualify?
