What would you like to bet that a major theme in the latter part of the movie will be how internet piracy is destroying the RIAA? I haven’t read the book, so I don’t know exactly what’s in it. However it’s not uncommon for movies to completely change whole elements of the books they’re based on. It wouldn’t surprise me if they added a huge anti-piracy spin to the film.

I saw “RIP – A Remix Manifesto” on The Documentary Channel just the other night. Now this. These seem to be positive signs of mainstream rejection of the copyright bullies. I’ll be eagerly awaiting it.

Are they declaring the RIAA/MPAA dead?

I am so disgusted with the music industry that I cannot enjoy music anymore…..

Great job RIAA, you succeeded in convincing me to stop download music…… and I’ll never give you another cent of my money again.

@Eric:

They should, and subsequently have a scene where people are arrested for humming.

They should try making an entire movie without music entirely. That way nobody can sue.

Will the music in the film be copyright infringement?

I wonder how fair use and copyrights will be handled by HBO regarding this flick and its distribution.
