MPAA is MIA
It's actually amusing to watch the MPAA try and thwart film pirates by coming up with futile and antiquated ideas. Roger Ebert acknowledges the revival of Kodak's "Cap code" , a system which places spots and blotches on the screen during a film (mostly in light areas) in order to identify the source of a film should it be found in pirated form. They also recently suspended all preview copies for the Academy (which are used to make determinations for the Academy Awards) and this only hurts the smaller independent films that don't get enough exposure. When are they going to join the RIAA and find new ways to distribute media?
Watching the MPAA and RIAA trying to stop piracy is like watching a pair of monkeys trying to fuck a football.
