So my little thing about the MPAA wanting to charge license fees for people to watch movies on their home theatres turned out to be a joke, but it's not so far fetched considering some of the MPAA's other crap.

I just read about a guy that submitted his movie to the MPAA ratings board. The MPAA states that even one copy of copywrited material is a breach of law, and they also state that they will not infringe upon filmmaker's rights. But to rate the movie, they made a copy. When the film's owner called to inquire about this breach of the law, the lawyer for the MPAA said, "Don't worry, it was an illegal copy, but it's locked up in my vault." Somehow I don't think that same lawyer would accept that excuse from me.

They also had a proposed law blocked in California. The law was to outlaw pretexting. An example of pretexting would be if I called my boss's insurance company, said I was my boss, and then say I lost my records and could they send a copy to such and such... It's typical social engineering, used by hackers for years to get passwords and such. Anyway, the MPAA blocked this law, because they use it themselves. They call people they suspect of movie-sharing, lie about their identity to get information, and then use that information to sue the person. Sounds pretty dishonest and unethical to me. Par for the course for the MPAA.
