MPAA's Glickman: Net Neutrality is bad for Hollywood...

...because it would keep ISPs from becoming shills and police for the movie industry.

Glickman, in a speech last tuesday, said that 

"This is a high-stakes debate," Glickman said. "Do we take a stand for intellectual property rights or cast them aside in the digital environment? Are we permitted to respond to consumers, innovate on their behalf and compete with the world, or are we told by our government to stand down? Today, the MPAA and all of our studios are standing up in opposition to broad-based government regulation of the Internet."

During his speech, Glickman stressed that such legislation would severely harm anti-piracy efforts, a matter of concern to everyone in the film industry. "No one here needs a lecture on what happens when one illegal copy makes its way to the Internet -- God forbid on opening weekend -- and is instantly available," Glickman told the movie theater owners, studio execs and others. 

"Today, new tools are emerging that allow us to work with Internet service providers to prevent illegal activity. [But] new efforts are emerging in Washington to stop this essential progress. This effort is being called by its proponents 'Net neutrality.' It's a clever name," Glickman continued, "but there's nothing neutral about this for our customers or for our ability to make great movies in the future." 

Let me get this straight: Net Neutrality is a bad idea because it would make it hard for providers to restrict what a third party thinks might be copyrighted content? Please. How about you develop a new business model to fit today's market and stop living in the 1990's. Don't you miss dialup?

In an effort to oppose bad spamming concerning my web page, I will position a tiny disclaimer close to the comment box. I should probably let the blog site readers be assured that I support all of them to target their very own domains provided that they add some valuable information linked with the piece of writing. I don't mind doing work just a little bit when you want to get hold of a good link.

Nice web page you have got here.
