MPAA Goes After Home Entertainment Systems

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday November 27, 2006 @09:22PM from the jokes-that-some-people-just-wont-get dept.

philba writes to tell us that home theaters may become the new jurisdiction of our MPAA overlords. The MPAA is lobbying to make sure that home users authorize their entertainment systems before any in-home viewings. From the article: "The MPAA defines a home theater as any home with a television larger than 29" with stereo sound and at least two comfortable chairs, couch, or futon. Anyone with a home theater would need to pay a $50 registration fee with the MPAA or face fines up to $500,000 per movie shown."

Bbspot is a satire site. This story is not real. I would have more of a sense of humor about it if the story was actually funny.
