Another Power Corrupts B-School Example
Emboldened by there previous successes at jack-booted law enforcement, the MPAA has just taken the next logical step:

Taking themselves way too seriously.

Since they've been given all-but-god-like power previously to not only interpret but write the laws, they just extend it to the next logical step via covert operations. Shouldn't they be allowed to go to any lengths to collect every penny they've decided they are owed?

Like there wasn't an implicit "nudge, nudge - wink, wink" when the contract was signed. Like who would even question their motives? Charletons!!!
