Dude..... remember this is the MPAA we're talking about of which $ony is a major member. I wouldn't put anything past them.

I don't know if this is an more far fetched than Sony planting trojans on user's machines when they try and play their CDs on a PC.

You're right, sorry. Why I put trojans, I have no idea.

I actually took it seriously for a minute, it sounds like something the MPAA would do.

I think if that guy proposed that in person, I'd have to punch him in the face!!

"Just because you buy a DVD to watch at home doesn't give you the right to invite friends over to watch it too. That's a violation of copyright and denies us the revenue that would be generated from DVD sales to your friends," said Glickman.

We need to have a middle finger emotion icon here at ATOT just for this reason alone!

What if I just leave the doors and windows open and don't invite people in but they wander in anyway?

What if a bunch of intruders watch some DVDs? Can I still be sued?

Dude I JUST bought a 32" television having upgraded from 27" (was SD, now I'm HD baby!!!)

There's no way in hell that this thing would be passed, the MPAA is run by nutjobs

 

[So]

I bought it for a minute too. Damn you MPAA and your plausible evil...
