MPAA chief Dan Glickman , in his annual “state of the industry” speech, said that the MPAA will fight Net neutrality regulations being considered by Congress and the FCC.

Government regulation of the Internet would impede our ability to respond to consumers in innovative ways, and it would impair the ability of broadband providers to address the serious and rampant piracy problems occurring over their networks today.

innovative ways RIGHT....

read that how to milk more money from the public from the same crap they have been spewing out for the last 20 years
 
Does this idiot realize he's shooting himself in the foot? When Comcast starts capping the bandwidth on the next gen online video streaming protocol how's he going to get his movies to the customers? Is this guy paid to think?
 
When will the MPAA clarify their stance against people?

We are not just ATM machines and lawsuit targets. Most of are not pirates. We buy CDs/Movies/etc. and don't like being treated like criminals when we try to actually use our purchase.
 
here is a law that should be passed.


once you buy a copy of a move, you are free to obtain said movie in any format or resolution you desire. not the commentaries, or extra features often included with releases, but the movie itself.

Government regulation of the Internet would impede our ability to utilize government resources for raping our own customers in innovative ways, and it would impair the ability of broadband providers to completely forget about trying to enforce our insane anti-piracy ideas at a huge cost to all of their customers in the form of higher package prices.

Looks like the MPAA doesn't have many years left before they're gone. The more trouble that they see themselves getting into wrt people finally refusing to bankroll their methods, the louder they scream and the harder they lash out.
 
Its all fun and games until someone realizes that there next platform depends heavily on neutral internet.
 
As usual, they are good for a laugh.

Yes, they scream about something until THEY need it, then they are all about wanting it. That will occur as movie downloading becomes a viable option competing with Netflix/Blockbuster. Then the tune will change.

An example is Ticketmaster, who screamed for years about ticket scalping and pushed for strong laws against it.... until... they realized they could make serious $$ if THEY themselves got into reselling. Now they are screaming bloddy murder trying to REPEAL the very regulations against scalping/reselling that they pushed for.

Ditto Vegas and internet gambling. t first the pinheads viewed it as a threat (which it wasn't) and backed the rightwing christian nut brigade in outlawing it. Now they realize "wait a minute" we can make a forutne doing this. Hey lets change it back..... eeeerrrrnnnnnt TOO LATE, good luck getting the Internet Gambling Act repealed.

This all points out that idiots and morons DO rise above thier level of cometence AND that this has real world consequences.

Wouldn't it be better to just stove the idiots/morons heads in BEFORE they get into a position to fk things up? :eek::rolleyes::p
 
In all seriousness, I would like to know how net neutrality would impede them at all in responding to their consumers. If anything wouldn't the opposite be true?

You must remember the person giving the speech has absolutely NO fucking clue, nor do our law makers about what the consequences would really be. They do not understand the technology or anything which goes into it. All they see is money. The end result is a guy calling the internet tubes, which turns out to the two executive being involved in a gay prostitution ring with 13 year old boys supplied by the catholic church.. or something similar. Anyway, in other words they hear only what they want to hear when technology is explained to them. They listened to the one negative thing that is most immediately important, and the rest didn't matter one bit.
 
MPAA,RIAA,they're all the same,a bunch of money hungry,self important prima donnas who live in their own little world.They stopped being true artists long ago,now all they care about is the money and fame.They could care less how this could help the average person,they just don't want anything that might impede them from raking in the dough.
 
So, instead of the government 'regulating' the net and requiring open access for all, the MPAA thinks it will be better for THEM to control the net in accordance with their own needs and profit margins.

These people must really thing consumers are stupid. I mean, really...
