MPAA Lobbying for Home Theater Regulations
Topic: Technology 12:32 pm EST, Nov 28, 2006

The MPAA defines a home theater as any home with a television larger than 29" with stereo sound and at least two comfortable chairs, couch, or futon. Anyone with a home theater would need to pay a $50 registration fee with the MPAA or face fines up to $500,000 per movie shown.

"Just because you buy a DVD to watch at home doesn't give you the right to invite friends over to watch it too. That's a violation of copyright and denies us the revenue that would be generated from DVD sales to your friends," said Glickman. "Ideally we expect each viewer to have their own copy of the DVD, but we realize that isn't always feasible. The registration fee is a fair compromise.

How out of touch are these guys? I'm reminded of how in A Brave New World the only sports that are allowed required massive amounts of equipment so as to promote consumption of sporting goods. These no talent ass clowns want to limit showing a movie to friends to maximize their profits? Fuck them.
