Media Industry Wants Mandated Spyware and More

[Jesse]

An anonymous reader writes

"The joint comment filed by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) requests anti-infringement software on all home computers, pervasive copyright filtering, border searches, forced US intellectual property policies on foreign nations and a joint departmental agency to combat infringement during major releases."

The MPAA would also like to have its rent paid a bit by Congress, with a ban on what seems to me like a useful tool (for those in as well as outside the film industry), the recently-discussed futures market for box-office receipts.

You have no business experience if you can say that lol I'd be doing everything they are doing and more maybe. Every cent they lose to piracy is a cent that does not go to their pockets
