NBC reckons file-sharing should be stopped entirely for.... corn farmers

Before I start my work day, I figure I'd share this quick tidbit from Ars Technica.

Despite the overwhelming subsidies corn farmers are receiving these days for producing ethanol, NBC reckons peer to peer file sharing (and other types of 'illegal' downloading of content) should be stopped wholesale by content filters as central locations (ISP's for example) and justify their stance by stating that corn farmers are suffering because popcorn isn't being bought in the theater.

Are you kidding me?

Having worked for a subsidiary of NBC such convuloted logic from old media does not shock me.
