Net Neutrality Blasted by MPAA Bosses

proudhawk writes "The LA Times is reporting that the MPAA's Dan Glickman has taken another swipe against net neutrality at his recent ShoWest appearance. 'Glickman argued in his speech that neutrality regulations would bar the use of emerging tools that ISPs can use to prevent piracy. That's what some studio lobbyists have been telling lawmakers, too, in their efforts to derail neutrality legislation. And depending on how the regulations are written, they could be right.'"

    if your complaint is valid, then there should be a lot of other people in your area in the same boat.
    form an action group. complain online, complain to the city, complain to the local news channels.
    document your complaint. add ever increasing numbers to your group.
    before you tell me that it will take "too long" to do that, you better look at how long government pseudo intervention takes and corporate litigation.
    try years.
    if internet is important to you, more then a luxury, then you need to do something NOW. move.


    Who the fuck are you to assume what I have and haven't done? I have personally spent nearly every weekend of the last five years of my life doing exactly this while you made flame posts safely behind the annonimity of the internet. Next time, don't assume things about people you don't know.

    quit being such a pussy.


    They do say you are what you eat...
