The Motion Picture Industry Cracks Down on Piracy

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia has Lucky and Flo, the two Labradors who helped sniff out nearly 1 million illegal discs last week within days of joining Malaysia's anti-piracy effort, have been moved to a safe house, WHY? There's a contract out on DVD PD. The New Straits Times reported that a source had tipped off officials about a bounty offered for killing the sniffer dogs, who are on loan for a month from the Motion Picture Association of America. The amount was not disclosed.
“UHHH The dogs are a genuine threat to the pirated disc syndicates, so lets eliminate the canines,”. The worst offenders of pirated DVD's is China. The Motion Picture Industry does not bother with China, after all if the Chinese tells the United States where to go when it comes to its currency. What could the Motion Picture Industry do to China when it comes to piracy.
The real suckers for the Motion Picture is the people of the United States. Macrovision Corp, a Motion Picture Industry puppet makes your DVD player, stumble, rumble and crap out when you are trying to watch a dvd that a machine decides if the dvd is real or not. The machines in asia do not have the Macrovision, nor the motion picture industry pigging out the DVD's that are marketed in Asia.
Lets not forget Microsoft with its Window Media Player, and the license scam. If it were up to Microsoft, you would have to pay to listen to your own cd every time you listen to a song. I do whatever it takes to keep Bill Gates out of my wallet. Bill Gates can afford lawyers all I can afford is bankruptcy.
Case and point, how is it that the movies were released in the USA a few days at 7.00 a clip. At the same time, a pristine copy of the same movie is sold in China for 80 cents. I believe the studio releases it. It is the sunset years for the movie house. All because of the internet. Why should I pay all that money when a good home theater is sold in Walmart for peanuts in comparison to the price of admission at the Movie house.New technologies eliminated the typewriter. The new media is pushing movie houses to extinction, like electronic mail is killing the postage stamps, like blogs is killing newspapers all heading the way of the Dodo birds.
The true problem of the Hollywood elite is not pirated DVD's. It is the Motion Picture Industry's lack of vision. There are so many great stories, however the studios insist on propoganda. Hollywood has an obsession with decadent behavior, and the viewing public is not interested. Still we see remake aftewr remake and stories with substance are totally ignored.
Hollywood would rather waste time chasing down piracy then to make movies that are socially redeeming. The studio's agenda is such that they do not advertise the true great films. "The Great Raid" was shown in very few movie houses, instead the studio's try to indoctrinate us into believing Broke Back Mountains was a true love story. The top disorder was that an academy award should go to a song about hoses and pimples. PPPUUUUUUUHHHHHllleeeze, anyway yes the Motion Picture Industry has gone to the dogs, I concur.
