Never hurts to trump up some numbers when trying to emphasize the size and scope of a problem.

In 2005, the MPAA said 44% of piracy came from college students. Now, three years later – oops! – we were wrong. It was only 15%. The blame? “Human Error.”

It took three years for the MPAA to find a math mistake that was 200% higher than the actual number? Solid.
