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.'"

    Show me the locality where that is happening.

    Show me the trend to decreased bandwidth.

    It looks to me that the trend everywhere, under light regulation, is toward increased bandwidth.

    But if you can show me, I'll be happily disabused of that.

    Bandwith [sic] is worthless if it can't be used the way you want. That is ridiculous. Are guns worthless if you can't shoot whatever you want? Is your voice useless if you can't say whatever you want, whenever you want, to whomever you want?

    That's right ... No.
