MPAA Opens Anti-filesharing Website
PontifexPrimus writes "The MPAA's new advertising campaign against movie piracy has a home on the internet. Did you know that 'Network users have a back door to your hard drive while you're online, thereby seeing your personal, private information, such as bank records, social security number, etc.'? Learn about the dangers of filesharing!"
....your Microsoft O/S is completely secure.
I ran a file share app, someone "hacked" my computer and put those .mp3's there. It wasn't me. ;)
;)
Anybody mirror the site yet?
learned about the dangers of the slashdot effect.
Posting an article on slashdot is a new method hackers are using in order to carry out DDoS attacks on websites they dont like. Will you be next? Protect your site today!
Only produce movies starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, that way... No one will want to pirate them because they suck so bad!
MMORPG fan-boy? Prove your worth
I was worried when I read this article, until I remembered that I am immune to this kind of thing ever since I bought the software that prevents my computer from broadcasting an IP address. I'm so glad I clicked on that popup ad!
In Soviet Rush, today's Tom Sawyer gets high on you.
You also become a distribution source for illegal downloading of movies, music and more, which makes you just as responsible if you had downloaded the movie yourself.
So the riaa should really sue the riaa since they were offering songs for download when their website got broken into?
Everyone that disagrees with me is a paid shill
If they're anything like RIAA, they'll be hacked pretty quickly...
The RIAA website used to have an unpassword protected administration page at riaa.org/admin/ - helpfully pointed out by robots.txt!
The link got posted on FARK and Slashdot and several hundred fake news items got posted (including everyone's favorite goatse man) until they finally took it down.
Whoops!
And these are the people some Congressmen want to trust to hack filesharer's computers to remove copywritten works? Heh heh heh...
I just saw 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. 'Sometimes the right path, the right course, requires a little piracy'
Or, if you want, try this link.
You are not the customer.
Nope. Nor did I know that I can get music and movies online for free. Thanks for informing me, MPAA!

I made a PHP/MySQL library that prevents SQL injection & makes coding easier!
You know, I bet MPAA lawyers could make a good case for sueing anybody who mirrors their slashdotted site. Hey, it's copyright infringement isn't it?
But it's so priceless, on the page of ''Why you should care", they say:
When you download movies illegally from the internet, you're breaking the law.
genius...

Dammit! Did I put my_ssn.txt and my_bank_records.txt into ~shared AGAIN!? Damn the insecurity!
My other car is first.
The risks of attending movies in theatres -- exposure to disease (SARS, tuberculosis, other airborne pathogens), risks to your sanity (insipid "previews," the idiot behind you with the cell phone, the gaggle of girls talking through the whole thing, bad sound and worse pictures), parking lot mayhem, $6 for a bucket of popcorn that's coated with the same stuff they spread on the floors to give them that wonderful, MPAA-approved tacky feel...
But then you didn't expect a balanced presentation, did you?
So MPAA, take a chill pill. We're not going to drive your poor key grip and dolly boys into homelessness. WTF is a 'key grip' anyway???
He holds the car keys of all the Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Jags, Lexuses (Lexi?), and Mercedez-Benzs for the actors and actresses while they are filming so that no one can steal their car.

Jack Valenti isn't human at all. He's a high-performance killing machine sent from the future to wipe out filesharing -- and with it, all hope for humanity's future.
Jesus, I think I should go to bed.
Only 4 out of 10 films turn a profit.
6 out of 10 films suck.
And odds are, at least three of those films fall into both categories. ;)
