All you have to do is look at the crappola propoganda that comes out of the mouths of the attorneys for the entertainment industry: MPAA: Pirated DVDs are the 'New Drug on the Street' http://fergdawg.blogspot.com/2005/11/mpaa-pirated-dvds-are-new-drug-on.html What crap. The latest news, which you can expect the MPAA to latch onto and use it to continue to treat innocent comsumers like criminals, is this: Hollywood Faces Uncertain Economic Outlook? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051129/tc_nm/studios_dc [snip] Hollywood faces uncertain prospects for jobs and growth in 2006 due to slowing DVD sales, the loss of local film and television production and looming labor talks, according to a report issued on Tuesday. The report from the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp. projected that growth in local entertainment industry jobs would begin to moderate in 2006 after solid growth this year. There are currently about 249,000 people employed in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles County, the report said. [snip] Whatever. I say tough shit. When they make better movies, stop ripping off the box-office consumer, and stop treating innocent consumers like criminals, then maybe they'll get some sympathy. In the meantime, they can bite me. - ferg ps. And, oh yeah, don't get me started on the entertaiment industry pushing through the broadcast flag to control ALL digital content, including digital radio. You can thank your elected representatives -- I did. :-/ -- Valdis.Kletnieks () vt edu wrote: "Studios" in the same sentence as "lower price" and an implied "willingly".
