Poor Choices

jeffxandraRecently we used our Netflix subscription to get Batman: Gotham Knight which is allegedly an interlude piece between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
(aside)We are planning on catching The Dark Knight on Saturday afternoon if anyone wants to join us(/aside)
The six short films were of varying quality, with the animation being generally good quality, if some of the styles were not to everyone's taste. I'd give the overall product 3 out of 5 but that's not really why I'm posting.
Before the movie, there was a brief MPAA PSA about the evils of video piracy. In it, using clips from The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy and her companions are depicted as video pirates while the eponymous wizard is the MPAA. Oz is angry and Dorothy & her friends are clearly intimidated.
Except...
... isn't there that whole bit about the wizard merely being a fraud behind a curtain?
Is this really the message the MPAA wanted to send?
