Well, Harold Feld ads some fact checking to MPAA claims that, "40% of industry loses from internet piracy could be traced to file sharing at universities."
LEK Consulting Services, which did the research for the MPAA, has now released its methodology, and based on their own numbers, the file sharing through university computing services is about 3%.
They used this study to justify attempts to use legislation to coerce universities to lock down their networks in very expensive ways, and to make the penalties for such activities worse than murder.
