MPAA's lawyers argued that the association "has no control over the studios". The claim was greeted with scepticism by the judge, who replied: "Well, if that's the case, your client has no objection to withdrawing this ban."

hehe, funny!!! I dont think the MPAA can say much really to support their case.

Now why the hell are they banning DVD Screeners when quite obviously, Telesyncs and CAM copies of movies are the major sources of piracy these days. You dont even have to be on the net, people sell PDVD's everywhere. DVD Screeners arent rare I know that but for major films, DVD Screeners dont usually appear on the Internet. I mean if you want to ban the BIGGEST source of internet piracyt, good luck in banning retail dvd's ;-)

amen!

a point well made..!

The BIGGEST source of piracy is DVD-Burners. BAn them as well MPAA. WAit, what about Blockbuster? Oh well, that's gone. But how about the computers? Check. What's left? People...... *machinegun fire*
^_^ In case you didn't notice, I was making sarcastic comments.

how about the industry just puts out some mooolaaaa to pay for real security not the lame dont copy this its against the law, if they are unwilling to fix their problem thenevery tow or three months they have to pay alittle more and then its updated...... kind of like what we all pay microsoft to do to us......

mystic, why should the movie industry use their own money for better security when they can get the fed to do the dirty work for them using taxpayer's money?

So if the MPAA has "no control over the studios", does that mean indie film companies can send out screeners if they want to? I suppose there are threats of expulsion from the Academy or the MPAA or some other stupid thing.
