IDEA: How about you start releasing the movie as soon as it’s available? Or hell, put it out on DVD or allow people to *buy* it from the ‘net the same day it goes to theaters?

When you make generous campaign contributions to Congressmen they’ll write anything into law that you like,

From yesterday’s Digg slapfest over the HD DVD key

it’s clear people have had enough. Let the revolution begin!

I suggest we stop bitching about the DMCA as nameless legislation, and bitch about the Congressmen who sponsored it. Unfortunately Wikipedia says it was unananimous, but you can start with the moneyman who introduced it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Coble

“five years in prison and a $250,000 fine”.

Hmmm, isent that the same amount of time you get for theft ( physical ) & things like rape… Somehow there seem to be a rather strange logic in sentence duration used … Hell, in my country the maximum you can get for murder is 30 years ( and not even a fine 1/10 of that amount ). And you can get off 1/3th sentence served.

This seems nuts …
