MPAA Going After TV Downloads
You knew it was coming, didn't you. The
inevitable smack down of those evil mustache-twirling THIEVES that are
downloading copies of the Simpsons. Yes, the dinosaur in the tar-pit that is the
MPAA has sued and effectively shutdown six major Bit-Torrent sites specializing
in TV shows.
I suppose that their recent loss in the broadcast flag legislation process caused them to lash out at the ones they love - the TV and movie going public. So refrain from downloading this crap all you who yearn to see what Apprentice gets that cushy job. For it won't be long until the whole pile of crap that is the MPAA will be hopelessly sunk. If all they can come up with is more and more regulation, with less and less innovation, it's inevitable that that someone with better ideas will pass them by.
