Hollywood's MPAA steps up antipiracy education efforts


DamnedIfIknow used our news submit to tell us "This ad campaign will fail just like the RIAA"s did. So, coming soon.....a lawsuit near you!"

Hollywood studios on Tuesday said they plan to "significantly" increase monitoring of online film trading, as part of a broader antipiracy campaign aimed at quashing Net movie piracy.

The group said it isn't ready to file lawsuits against individual movie-swappers, as has the Recording Industry Association of America, but that step may not be far off.

Yes, that's right, follow the lead of the music industry. Right on over the cliff, like so many lemmings. However, having said that, what about a 'code of conduct' in the theater, that's what I want to see. There's a couple nitwits that always follow me in, set right behind me and begin yakking the split second the previews start. Then, they won't shut up until I tell them I don't want to go back to prison. Read the full story at C|Net.
