    So it's OK for the movie industry to use Linux to CREATE movies, but it's not OK for us to use Linux to VIEW movies...

    That makes about as much sense as putting a screen door on a submarine.

      YOUR confused? Considering the ongoing hatred of the MPAA, I don't know if I should see this movie or not.
