The MPAA Strikes Again: The Organization Tries to Ban Playing DVDs on Ipods

[WorthyStevens]

The immeasurable height and width of the total incompetence and stupidity of the MPAA never ceases to amaze me. This organization has their heads shoved so far up their nether regions that they don't even know it's not summer anymore. Taking their fight to the US Copyright office, the MPAA has ensured that the current rules as enforced mean that YOU CAN NOT PUT A DVD YOU OWN ON YOUR IPOD TO WATCH.

Did you get that? A DVD you own, that you bought and paid for... yeah, you're not allowed to watch it on you iPod Video (or any other portable video enabled device other than your laptop or portable DVD player. THESE ARE IDIOTS!

Good job you morons... well done. So now you've got all these millions of people who have video enabled devices... and you're telling them they're not allowed to put their legally purchased DVDs on them to watch. Hmmmmmm... gee wiz... I wonder what they'll do now. Oh right... THEY'LL DOWNLOAD ILLEGAL MOVIES TO WATCH ON THEIR iPODS EVEN MORE!!!

When will these idiots wake up and realize that fighting, instead of working with technology, is only going to ENCOURAGE piracy?!?! Are they so stupid that they don't get this???

These fools should be BRAGGING and advertising that purchasing a DVD means you can watch it on your iPod. They should be making this a selling feature on their dvds. They should make it easy for companies to develop software that rips the dvds to iPods. But they're too blind to understand taking advantage of this technology for their gain is a better idea than trying to ban it. IDIOTS IDIOTS IDIOTS.

Dear folks at the MPAA. I will often try to defend you, and even back you up sometimes... but you are nothing but a conclave imbeciles and short sighted dimwits who are actually encouraging piracy instead of fighting it. I have no sympathy for you whatsoever.

And that's not all...

I don't have to tell you that the MPAA is an organization of weird, irrational little people that live in sod houses and have hooves instead of hands but you might like to know about their latest handiwork that has once again proven them a real national treasure, an invaluable asset to society whose work can be appreciated by all and whose meticulous dedication is in no way dissipative or trifling. Exhibit B is below. I won't say too much about this except that on the left is the MPAA banned poster for the upcoming THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2 (courtesy of Eat My Brains) and on the right is the officially released version that we showed you not too long ago. If you can in any way justify the content of the former compared to the latter as, by any standards, legitimately eligible for censorship then please do post below. If not, then please do feel free to ***** about the MPAA.

MPAA, bang up job.

 

[enterthemadness]

Um, isn't a ipod too small to play a damn dvd anyway?

The banned poster for Hills Have Eyes 2. I can see why MPAA banned it, but it's not a good reason. The reason is that the person is trying to crawl her/his way out of the sack. He's still alive. The new poster shows a dead person being dragged across the desert. And it looks cheaply done. Like I said, I understand why they banned it, it's just not a very good reason.

Indoubitably it is so. I perhaps am also absent-mindedly playing with my beard as well.
