MPAA finds itself accused of piracy  (it's worth reading the whole article)

"The MPAA admitted Monday that it had duplicated "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" without the filmmaker's permission after director Kirby Dick submitted his movie in November for an MPAA rating. The Hollywood trade organization said that it did not break copyright law, insisting that the dispute is part of a Dick-orchestrated "publicity stunt" to boost the film's profile."

"The MPAA's Bernards, who said Glickman was unavailable for comment, said the organization was operating lawfully when it copied Dick's movie without his or his producer's authorization. "The courts recognize that parties are entitled to make a copy of a work for use as evidence in possible future proceedings," she said"

So since violating the DMCA is against that law, that will get you in court, but with the above rationale, the copy you made is then is now ok because it was done for a court case.  I know it doesn't work but the language makes it kinda fun...
