Why should we care about the difference between negligence and malice? Should we respond differently? I would not be comfortable with that.

Besides, let's not forget Grey's Law... (http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Greys_Law)

If these claims turn out to be false, then you just end up looking stupid, even if UMG is still on the wrong side of the law.

Regardless, nobody reasonable is going to fault anybody for assuming malice from class acts like the MPAA. And if you apply Grey's Law, then they deserve the criticism regardless.
