MPAA Directly & Publicly Threatens Politicians Who Aren't Corrupt Enough To Stay Bought
"Those who count on quote 'Hollywood' for support need to understand that this industry is watching very carefully who's going to stand up for them when their job is at stake. Don't ask me to write a check for you when you think your job is at risk and then don't pay any attention to me when my job is at stake,"
- Chris Dodd, Chairman MPAA
As pointed out in the comments section of the link above, at which point does actions like that cross the line of bribery and blackmail?

http://torrentfreak.com/the-copyrigh...graphy-110709/The Copyright Lobby Absolutely Loves Child Pornography
“Child pornography is great,” the man said enthusiastically. “Politicians do not understand file sharing, but they understand child pornography, and they want to filter that to score points with the public. Once we get them to filter child pornography, we can get them to extend the block to file sharing.”
The date was May 27, 2007, and the man was Johan Schlüter, head of the Danish Anti-Piracy Group (Antipiratgruppen). He was speaking in front of an audience from which the press had been banned; it was assumed to be copyright industry insiders only. It wasn’t. Christian Engström, who’s now a Member of the European Parliament, Oscar Swartz, and I were also there.
...
This puts the copyright industry’s efforts in perspective. In this context they don’t care in the slightest about children, only about their control over distribution channels. If you ever thought you knew cynical, this takes it to a whole new level.
The conclusion is as unpleasant as it is inevitable. The copyright industry lobby is actively trying to hide egregious crimes against children, obviously not because they care about the children, but because the resulting censorship mechanism can be a benefit to their business if they manage to broaden the censorship in the next stage. All this in defense of their lucrative monopoly that starves the public of culture.
It’s hard to comprehend that there are people who are so shameless that they would actually do this. But there are. Every time you think the copyright lobby has sunk as morally low as is humanly possible, they prove you wrong.
Unless NetFlix can get movies like these 5 days after release pirating will go on forever.

I'd rather just wait and pay $1.29 to watch it. I hate watching those bootlegs with peoples heads bouncing around.
Europe has been suc bing to these stuff lately... in Spain, Ley Sinde was eventually passed when the new government walked in. What's interesting in that case, is that Spaniards (like Canadians) paid a 'copyright tax' on blank media that was passed onto the content creators as a way to "offset" the misuse of such media for piracy (completely arbitrary obviously, seeing there's no realistic way to know how many of that media is really used for that purpose). Well, now a strict anti-piracy law passes, and the "tax"... well, it stays. It's just a smaller amount now.
I think the difference between Europe and the US will eventually come down to privacy laws. Countries like Germany and Switzerland are very, very strict with their privacy laws, and so the implementation of some of that stuff in those countries will likely not fly.
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/0...ng-and-privacyDoes using cloud computing services based in the United States create a risk of US law enforcement access to people's data? The US Department of Justice (DOJ) seems to be trying to placate international concern by saying one thing in international fora; but it says something quite different in the US courts.
On January 18, a senior Justice Department official tried to reassure companies and people around the world that hosting their data in the United States creates no increased privacy risk for them from the US government. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Bruce Swartz noted: "Cloud computing has important advantages to consumers (but) doesn't present any issues that have not always been present. Certainly not regarding Internet service issues, but even before that."
Apparently, the DOJ is reacting to decisions by foreign en ies to drop US-based services due to concerns about US government access, includingBritishcompanyBAE dropping Microsoft Office 365 and the Dutchgovernment's hesitation about allowing its contractors to use US-based cloud services. In the past, Denmark and Canada have also voiced their concerns about the level of protection the United States can provide to their citizens’ data. EU public tenders of cloud services arealsoavoiding US cloud services for the same reasons. European-based companies, which have to comply with EU data protection law, see this opportunity as a compe ive advantage, as do Australiancloudservices.
Yet the DOJ's reassurances ring hollow. While the DOJ may spin its position one way to try to appease foreign audiences, its actual position is quite clear where it really matters: in US courts when it is trying to access subscriber information held by US-based cloud computing services. Indeed, the DOJ's position in its court filings is that very little, if any, privacy protection is available against US government access to the records of users of US-based cloud computing services.
