MPAA is scared of the internet

Some choice quotes in here:
http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120127/10005717568/mpaa-exec-admits-were-not-comfortable-with-internet.shtml

Quote:
MPAA's O'Leary concedes that the industry was outmanned and outgunned in cyberspace. He says the MPAA "is [undergoing] a process of education, a process of getting a much, much greater presence in the online environment. This was a fight on a platform we're not at this point comfortable with, and we were going up against an opponent that controls that platform."
Who does he think controls this platform? Isn't the whole point about the internet that nobody actually controls it?

The only thing I can think of here, is that either he thinks Google runs the internet, or that Anonymous is a company and that everytime he hears the word anonymous he assumes it's them, regardless of the context.

We are dealing with an industry which, in spite of the increasing role of technology in its daily running, still has a Scooby Doo understanding of science and technology.
