I find it quite laughable that one of the former heads of the MPAA was a US senator who tried to ban VCR's back in the early '80's.
With that kind of mindset, no wonder his organization are trying so damn hard to bribe every senator in sight to try and achieve an outcome favourable to the entertainment industry.
The new bloke is a hypocrite as well, nothing new there.
Quote:
On January 17, 2012, Dodd released a statement criticizing "the so-called 'Blackout Day' protesting anti-piracy legislation." Referring to the websites participating in the blackout, Dodd said, "It is an irresponsible response and a disservice to people who rely on them for information and use their services. It is also an abuse of power... when the platforms that serve as gateways to information intentionally skew the facts to incite their users in order to further their corporate interests."
