MPAA needs some serious ...

[amclint]

Must be nice having tons of $ to throw around....seems like laws only apply when you don't have enough $ to lobby congress.

"The MPAA defines a home theater as any home with a television larger than 29" with stereo sound and at least two comfortable chairs, couch, or futon. " ROTFL!

Here's one of several statements that I can not believe : "Just because you buy a DVD to watch at home doesn't give you the right to invite friends over to watch it too." Astonishing. :wtf:

Although the article is satire, we do honor the golden rule. He who owns the gold, makes the rules.

recent animosity towards re-post mentions

When I did a post about John's "Re-Post" message, that was not really animosity. I thought it was funny to tell him his RePost post was a repost of his former posts... Anyway...

I wasn't referring to you - in fact I don't even remember reading this specific thread you are talking about. I was being more general :-) In any case, I got a 1-vote just for mentioning it - shows that some people are weak.

Re-post from the other day, turns out BBSpot is good for Satire. Not that I would put something of this nature past the laywers from MPAA. MPAA Lobbying for Home Theater Regulations[^]
