MPAA Shuts Down Town's Municipal WiFi Over 1 Download 323

Rather than being embarrassed by this gross example of collective punishment (a practice outlawed in the Geneva conventions) against Coshocton, OH, the MPAA's spokeslizard took the opportunity to cry poor (even though the studios are bringing in record box-office and aftermarket receipts)."

Well, for that particular town, one block probably does cover the whole town!
