He’s gonna be around for another year and a half, by the looks of it.
His contract was extended 18 months while they look for his replacement.
Naturally, it wasn’t just because of “lackluster performance”.
There had to be a $reason$ for it…

“the moguls in particular blame him for not being able to keep those $246M in tax breaks for studios and filmmakers intact within the stimulus package.”

i get the mechanics of it all, but still, how deluded does one have to be, i am a tech for an it consultant, if you have someone else fix your pc for you we are going to sue you cuz that takes money away from us, even tho we don’t know each other on any level other than alias’s on a comment page, also, if you come back with you use a mac, guess what i am still going to sue you because you are taking money out of my pocket for buying a computer that works 99.9% of the time

like honestly? why have they not been laughed out of existance yet, did everyone in positions of power just go stupid? do the rabid lawyers and such have no ethics whatsoever?

i just can’t wait for the day that the world wakes up and looks around and goes WTF?

To late.

Now we all know who they are and we want them dead. period.

BOYCOTT THE RIAA AND THE MPAA!

ERADICATE THE CORPORATE PARASITES!

did the cartel not figure out that I can surf to http://www.top100.cn myself and download even tho I am not in China?
This is paramount proof that the asshats are on the verge of giving up, for all the reasons listed by http://www.eZee.se...

delaying the release of a movie in other countries will only feed file-sharing demand, not curtail it. Thanks MPAA, luv ya. Can’t wait to get home and watch X-Men Origins WORKPRINT…

Over and over it’s been shown the figures are bogus, the supposed problem pieces are always influenced directly or indirectly though funding or self-interest, and have very little to do with reality.

It’s about the old Gobble thing of tell them often enough and they will come to believe it, even if it is false.

The demonstration that they know they can’t stop file sharing is in the fact that they pay for file hunters to go hunt only the most recent items coming out on market. Once it’s been out a few months, the protection money to the file hunters changes to the next latest greatest but it stops for the one they were previously funding. That tells you that they are mainly interested in protecting it only during the hot selling period of a fresh release. Not to protect it into perpetuity by paying forever. They know that is foolish and not worth the return on the money.

Last year was a record breaker for profits for the movie industry. It was all over the net. This year with the economy being in the dumps, ticket sales to theater shows are again setting records. So it isn’t the truth about how bad they are being hurt. It’s about wringing the very last drop of blood from the turnip and about the next time they go with hat in hand (stuffed with money of course) to the lawmakers for the next protection “must have”.

Yep, was LMFAO too, for other reasons as well… like looking at how desperate they are getting and clutching at far off short straws. I think they are finally coming to terms with it:
- You cant stop it
- You cant sue the crap outa it
- you cant “out technology” it no matter how deep your pockets are or who you hire
- you cant brainwash the new generations about it
- you spend ages brainwashing a person, who throws out the garbage you put in his/her head in 5 minutes after visiting sites like these
- you cant fool people with “you can click but you cant hide”, “downloading is stealing”, “piracy supports terrorism” etc crap anymore without getting laughed at.
- The cats outa the bag, and the horse is out of the stable… then ran outa the state… went to canada.. felt too cold… ran to china… almost got eaten… ran to latin America and is off the radar…

it should read that profits are down 2 billion, not ‘we lost 2 billion to piracy’.

fucking asshats…..

But for all you kids out there remember one thing:

All the cool kids are doing it!

LMFAO !
