The MPAA and RIAA’s Vision for the Future
Ooh, this sounds fun:
- spyware on your computer that detects and deletes infringing materials;
- mandatory censorware on all Internet connections to interdict transfers of infringing material;
- border searches of personal media players, laptops and thumb-drives;
- international bullying to force other countries to implement the same policies;
- and free copyright enforcement provided by Fed cops and agencies (including the Department of Homeland Security!).
In return they’re giving us all a new theme song.
