BBSpot has a great story about the latest efforts of the Motion Picture Association of America and its efforts to control the market -- which now extends to "any home with a television larger than 29" with stereo sound and at least two comfortable chairs, couch, or futon". The story says:
Los Angeles , CA - The MPAA is lobbying congress to push through a new bill that would make unauthorized home theaters illegal. The group feels that all theaters should be sanctioned, whether they be commercial settings or at home.
MPAA head Dan Glickman says this needs to be regulated before things start getting too far out of control, "We didn't act early enough with the online sharing of our copyrighted content. This time we're not making the same mistake. We have a right to know what's showing in a theater."
Comment: Today, this is a spoof, of course. But it's so believable, who can be sure about tomorrow?
