I really don’t want to have to dust off the old pitchfork, but I’ll do it if I must.
Considering Hollywood was literally founded on grifted land bought by selling films from scripts plagiarized from European creators… I say it’s high time for the guillotines.

I thought I just did? 😅🤓
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The MPA will “work with members of Congress” to require Internet service providers to block piracy websites, he said during a “state of the industry” address at CinemaCon 2024 in Las Vegas, a convention for movie theater owners.
“So today, here with you at CinemaCon, I’m announcing the next major phase of this effort: the MPA is going to work with members of Congress to enact judicial site-blocking legislation here in the United States.”
A site-blocking law would let copyright owners “request, in court, that Internet service providers block access to websites dedicated to sharing illegal, stolen content,” he said.
Consumer advocacy group Public Knowledge urged Congress to reject the MPA push, saying that a site-blocking law would threaten the open Internet.
The MPA’s latest push for a site-blocking law comes about two weeks before a Federal Communications Commission vote to restore net neutrality rules that prohibit ISPs from blocking and throttling websites.
Rose said the MPA’s requested law would be similar to the proposed Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) that was shelved after major protests over a decade ago.
