p2pnet.net news:- Jack Valenti, until recently, Hollywood’s principal mouthpiece and someone who uttered some of the movie industry’s more glaringly outrageous (in the negative sense) proclamations, died at the age of 85.
His funeral was held at St Matthew’s onb May 1 and he’ll be buried at the famous Arlington National Cemetery.
The Hollywood Reporter says Honorary pallbearers were “in the dozens” and included California governor Arnold ‘Terminator’ Schwarzenegger, his creator, director Steven Spielberg, “News Corp honcho” Peter Chernin, Disney boss Robert Iger, and, “nearly a quorum call of lawmakers” including house speaker Nancy Pelosi, senators Ted ‘The Net is a Pipe’ Stevens, Joe Biden, Patrick Leahy and John Dingell, chairman of the house commerce committee.
Valenti’s successor, the new boss of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), Dan Glickman, wasn’t mentioned in the write-up.

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!
