>The director, Kirby Dick, specifically asked the MPAA not to make any copies of his film.
>But on Monday the MPAA admitted it had made a copy of the film 

Interestingly, they don't say "Yes, we made a mistake. Sorry. We'll
pay you this much money if you don't sue us", but instead claim that :
>because their staff were the subject of the film, they were not breaking copyright law.

So apparently copyright isn't the hard-and-fast piracy-is-theft
thing that some people claim - wait a minute - that *they* claim it is.
