  1. Columbia Tristar Home Video by tepples · · Score: 1 · on Blu-Ray DVDs Hit 100 GB

    Personally, HD-DVD's disgraceful AACS is enough to make me cheer for Blu-Ray

    Sony is a major proponent of Blu-ray Disc, and Sony is also a member of the Copyright MAFIAA. Who's to say that Sony's Columbia Tristar Home Video won't demand some sort of digital restrictions management?

  2. Motion Picture Association, the MPAA's export arm by tepples · · Score: 1 · on MPAA Cracking Down on TV Torrent Sites

    The Motion Picture Association is not just "of America". Please read the "MPA" column on this page.

    Yes, they are the MAFIAA.

  3. Re:It's more than just DCMA by CritterNYC · · Score: 4, Insightful · on Wal-Mart Parody Site Censored by DMCA

    The US used to have this thing called "fair use" where copying that would otherwise be infringing for the purpose of parody was legal. Wonder what happened to that.

    The MAFIAA has successfully killed most fair use through technological methods coupled with laws like the DMCA. Add in a dose of SLAPPs (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) and the Walmarts of the world can do whatever the hell they want to you.
