I almost asked myself how much worse the mpaa could get once...but I stopped myself because I didn't want to think of something as bad as this.

Recently made ex-politician hawking his 'influence' to a trade group which regularly attacks and acts against the interests of it's customers.
What a pathetic joke.

At least the UK puts a 2yr (sometimes longer) ban on politicans and civil servants doing this.....who knows what this guyy did for his position & doubtless huge paycheck before leaving office?

Can you say 'corrupt'?

the media has always tryed to use scare tactics.they always trying to blame people for stuff.apparently being gay means you will get aids.using drugs means you will get hep C.Creeping over the speed limit will result in you getting smashed up in a car accident.Smoking means you will get cancer.downloading a movie or piracy is as bad as stealing an old ladys handbag or a car.

cant wait to see what other things they try to blame pirates for.

This is really bad as you can bet that Dodd will use his connections in DC to influence laws and film ratings to benefit the MPAA?s means.

Now it they could hire Barney Frank they would be two up and we would be less one more idiot in the Congress.

I hope that the people (we) will start getting their power together. Consumers need to make that move in order to bring an end to this corruption.
Don't look now. Here comes Barney Frank right "behind" him. Yes Mr-Movies you are right on.
