MPAA Infiltrating Campus Nets with Software
unassimilatible writes "CNet is reporting that the MPAA is starting to infiltrate college campuses with automated anti-piracy software. Known as the Automated Copyright Notice System (ACNS), the technology promises to make copyright enforcement easier on peer-to-peer networks, saving schools and Internet service providers (ISPs) time and money. ACNS allows them to automatically restrict or cut off Internet access for alleged infringers on notice from a record label or movie studio. Though not specifically ACNS, a similar system is set to go live Monday at the University of California at Los Angeles, one of the nation's largest universities with 37,500 students. UCLA's Copyright Policy page makes no reference of this system being implemented."
Translation: We have our cash cows ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HFans by the balls, and we're going to build up as much hype about this film until its released as we possibly can.
I see your point, but your case would be strengthened is you could spell, since people love to jump you about that on slashdot.
On a side note it's good to see Shaolin Soccer get refrenced. Funny flick.
Bang in yo azz, mutha!
Murphy, Collins and Vella are drinking in a pub when a drunk comes in,
staggers up to them, and points at Collins, shouting, "Your mum's the best shag in town!"
Everyone expects a fight, but Collins ignores him, so the drunk wanders off and stick his nose into a pint of Guinness at the far end of the bar.
Ten minutes later, the drunk comes back, points at Collins again, and says, "I just screwed your mum, and it was grand!"
Again Collins refuses to take the bait, and the drunk goes back to the far end of the bar.
Ten minutes later, he comes back and announces, "Your mum said it was the best thing since sliced bread!"
Finally Collins interrupts. "Go home, Dad,... you're pissed!"
