I really hate how companies like the MPAA and RIAA exist. They care about nothing but precious profit. Yeah, let's forget constitutional rights and free speech, and censor the Internet to protect our product that can survive without us. China's doing it! We have the technology!

They exist so that their member companies can say unpopular things that aren't directly attributed to them. It's like money laundering, but for speech.

Exactly, I think the media should recognize that the MPAA/RIAA consists of companies, and actually attribute things said to the companies that participate in the MPAA/RIAA. That way the people can see what these companies really think about the world.
