"Grassroots" MPAA shill Creative Amerca buys signatures

Subject: Paid Internship Possibility

 

My name is [redacted].  I work for Creative America, an organization funded by the MPAA that seeks to combat content theft and is working with internet companies to propose new anti-piracy legislation. I am organizing the Southeast region of our  campaign.

 

I wanted your department to be aware that I am seeking paid interns who will have the responsibility of collecting 100 signatures a week, earning $1 for each signature.

 

This is a good way for interested students to earn money, network within the local and larger film communities, and needless to say support a great cause. If you could be so kind to forwarding this information to your students.

 

Below, is some information that explains who we are and our agenda in greater depth.  Thanks so much. I look forward to hearing back from you.

 

Sincerely,

There has been a lot of discussion about stopping online content theft recently.  The U.S. Congress and the U.S. Senate both introduced legislation to combat a problem that has cost U.S workers more than $5.5 billion annually and more than 140,000 jobs.

 

While the legislation is currently on hold to allow time to address some of the concerns raised over the last couple weeks, everyone agrees that we need a viable solution in order to protect the livelihoods of hundreds and thousands of artists like you.

 

We need your help.  Creative America is a grassroots organization developed to educate people about the dangers of online content theft and bring together industry leaders to identify solutions.
