Good article about Eisner and his merry band of media hypocrites vs the computer industry.

These thugs in suits mug musicians with their lawyers and then turn around and complain that "their" intellectual property is being stolen.

Bow down before The Eisner! We are the overlords of media, all shall fall down before the might of DISNEY, it is futile to resist! Soon we will "correct" all legal flaws to insure that our HARD EARNED PROPERTY is not STOLEN by insignificant peons like the public. Soon (tm), we will make all forms music that can be heard by more than one customer at a time illegal, all underlings will be implanted with a crainial data inplant to permit direct absorbtion of only legaly obtained and licensed entertainment media. Along with this new technology, we will begin enforcing the strict outlawing of any nonlicensed singing, humming, or other forms of THEFT!

You realize of course that if every computer geek in the world opposing the legislation just switched off their computers for a day or two, the internet would collapse and the world economy would be brought to it's knees.

How hard could it be to organize such an "Internet Strike" over the Internet?

Talk about Power to the People! Any takers?

Hmmmm......

I think boycotting the movie theaters would be more appropriate. What if all the geeks didn't go to SW episode II?

Hollywood was uncomfortable with Silicon Valley's penchant for coming up with products like TiVo, the commercial-jumping digital video recorder that threatened their television production businesses. "That was a very nice presentation," a studio chief reportedly told a contingent from TiVo after sitting through a demo. "Now go set yourselves on fire."

I feel sorry for the theater owners. They make practically nothing from ticket sales because of the greedy ****oles in Hollywood. That's why popcorn costs $5.00 a bag.

The Oscars really show those left wing social liberal wackos for what they are: vaccuous, pea-brained hypocrites who make millions per movie acting like they are the focus for all "progressive liberal thought" in the world. They make me f***ing sick.
