MPAA: Hypocritical Bastards
The MPAA took a break from pillorying 13 year olds to create an unauthorized (pirated) copy of a movie that had been submitted to the ratings board. Read about it at Google News. It is amazing to anyone with any sense that pissing off the people who are responsible for whether your product succeeds or not is really stupid, but the fucktards at the MPAA and RIAA can’t see that by pissing people off, they are shooting themselves. Personally, I haven’t bought a single “label” CD since 2000, and I haven’t felt the loss. I have a lot of music from indies, a lot from the iTMS, and a lot from my existing collection. At the rate the MPAA is going, 2006 might turn out to be the year I buy my last DVD as well. Be sure and click the MPAA link above so you can call them up and tell them, politely please, what hypocritical asshats they are and just what you think of them. Obviously, I won’t be calling myself as technically, ‘asshats’ would be considered, in some circles, to be impolite, and it seems to just pop out of my mouth anytime I am talking about the MPAA and the RIAA.
