Slashdot reports that the MPAA thinks that digital piracy is costing Lucas money:

MPAA President and CEO Dan Glickman: 'There is no better example of how theft dims the magic of the movies for everyone than this report today regarding BitTorrent providing users with illegal copies of Revenge of the Sith. The unfortunate fact is this type of theft happens on a regular basis on peer to peer networks all over the world.'"

Earth to Dan Glickman: Sith has broken the single day record for movie revenues - so far it's raked in $50M. The entire set of films to date has brought in $5.7B in revenue.

So if this is the "best example" of how piracy costs film makers money, I think we can stop worrying. Is Glickman really this stupid? Does he have any idea how much of a moron this makes him appear to be?
