Is the Motion Picture Association of America secretly spying on your phone records?

Sure sounds like they just admitted it in this article. How creepy is that. I'd like to know which Americans' private phone records the Motion Picture Association of America is buying, and why? Do they include the records of journalists, elected officials, you, me? And why does the MPAA seem to feel the need to pretend they're you when they call the phone company in order to get those records fraudulently? Can't the Motion Picture Association follow the law and go to court just like everybody else (well, like everybody else but George Bush)?

Sounds like another issue for a congressional hearing.
