new data uncovered by TorrentFreak shows that the MPAA might want to start in-house, as plenty of copyrighted material is being shared by employees of major Hollywood studios. With help from BitTorrent monitoring company Scaneye we found that BitTorrent piracy is rampant in Hollywood.

So, is this like "Moviemakers" download the movies from Torrent, to get inspired or to gather ideas?

BitTorrent Logs Suggest Movie Studio Workers Are Pirating from Work

TNW says "Employess". So, what's true?

Lets consider this scenario.
If i work in a XYZ company and i'm illegally using my company's internet to download "Pirate" contents, does that mean "XYZ company downloads illegal contents"?

Yes, this is how it is. First the company would be sued. You are a nobody comparing to a company's goodwill and reputation. Any such incident would translate that the companhy lacks in security measures.

Later they may trace the activity to particular PC and scrutinizing timestap a particular employee can be accused and at last can be sacked along with heavy fine.

But, what is done is already done. They might need to re-gain trust of their clients again.

Going off topic - but may be we could start a whole "fun" thread devoted to that - doing "Bol Bachchan" type of translations! Of course, if the mods allow!

Kollywood & Bollywood (WE) are not exceptions. The only thing is "We are not using torrents to rip a story from several movies".

Plausible deniability - what if it is by design - if the employees get caught, the studios can always claim that they can't be held responsible for employee conduct. But of course, why would Hollywood studios NEED to pirate?
