MPAA Threatens To Disconnect Google From Internet
An anonymous reader writes "Over the last few months, Google has received more than 100 copyright infringement warnings from MPAA-affiliated movies studios. Most are directed at users of Google's public Wi-Fi service, but others are meant for Google employees. The MPAA is thus warning the search giant that it might get disconnected from the Internet. Although the copyright holders use strong language, these notices are simply warnings, and typically do not lead to legal action."
you know what? every single movie, book, or play ever made can be described as derivative of something that came before. even going back to shakespeare: he was "ripping off" the ancient greeks. everything is derivative of everything else, so all you are demonstrating is that you don't know what "original" really means. "original" means a well told story, a story that has similarities to hundreds of other stories similar to it
but i'm not going to place my word against your word, because you are not arguing with me, you are arguing with sales figures and one of the most successful directors in the history of cinema. who the hell are you? just another easily negative self-appointed expert on the internet. you're a dime a dozen. whenever someone experiences success, the haters come out of the woodwork. typical, pointless. so i'm glad you didn't like avatar. who fucking cares? sales figures say otherwise, and sales figures rule. sorry
