Motion Picture Association of America caught pirating software
According to Freethinker’s Forum: “The Chairman of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America). You remember the MPAA right? This is the high-and-mighty organization that is in charge of convincing and threatening people with legal action if they violate copyright or licensing terms of movies and music. It turns out the MPAA blog is run by a piece of software called “Forest Blog” – a Freeware blog, and one of the few things the author asks is that if you use the software in a commercial environment, pay about $40 for the registration, and don’t remove the links to the author’s original site. Of course, the MPAA apparently installed the software, didn’t register and removed the links and credits from it before they let their executives use the blog software to rant and rave about the evils of piracy.”
