		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;cough&lt;/em&gt;BULLSHIT&lt;em&gt;cough&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yeah Dan Glickman, I can tell that George Lucas is really being robbed blind here, why just check out his RECORD TICKET SALES. God, these MPAA/RIAA muppet figureheads make me want to scream sometimes. Oh, the BSA too, they are another pack of lying theives.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;See here:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7B60C3F30B-261A-4869-9098-EA57C81A47FD%7D&amp;siteid=google&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith&quot; grossed $158.5 million from Thursday to Sunday, according to studio estimates, beating the previous record held by 2003&#039;s &quot;Matrix Reloaded,&quot; which made $134.3 million.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;Sith&quot; took in an estimated $108.5 million from Friday to Sunday, slightly lower than the record held by the first &quot;Spider-Man&quot; movie, which took in $114.8 million in May 2002. But &quot;Spider-Man&quot; didn&#039;t debut on a Thursday like &quot;Sith,&quot; and thus that $114.8 million comprised its entire weekend take.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;Even as of Sunday, we&#039;re selling tickets like gangbusters,&quot; said Art Levitt, chief executive of online ticket seller Fandango Inc. &quot;Our ticket sales are a clear indicator that &#039;Sith&#039; has kicked off the summer movie season loud and clear.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The company said Sunday that &quot;Sith&quot; now stands as its top-selling movie for opening weekend sales. The first two days of the movie&#039;s release, Thursday and Friday, were Fandango&#039;s top selling 48 hours, ever.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Excuse me while I try to go create a monopoly and then attempt to force people to feel bad for not subsidising my 90th Rolls Royce.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MPAA BitTorrent Bad Bad Bad&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The MPAA is publicizing the Revenge of the Sith piracy on BitTorrent so much that some people think it was a plant. Everyone knew the movie would pull down a lot of money anyway....&lt;/p&gt;
