MPAA and LA pirates: II
p2pnet.net News:- We’ve had various helpful emails and comment posts on how best to assist the MPAA in its public-spirited quest to stamp out the piracy which is apparently a scourge in the Los Angeles fashion district.
But what to do? What to do?
“Just get a few folks out there to hand legit dvd’s back and forth to each other and act all suspicious,” says one comment.
“Trench coats, sunglasses, and some funky ’spy like’ lines such as ‘Are you the brown bear?’ or ‘I am the key master’, should throw the oh so helpful PD off of even bothering with this.”
“People of LA should all get together and walk around downtown in view of the cameras wearing eye patches and give the cameras their own version of the bird,” says another.
And why not get a few Sign of the Flying Ass McDonalds signs, remove the lettering and hold them up to the cameras?
Better yet, expose yourself to yourself, take a digital snap of what you see and the use the results for a placard to be held in front of the MPAA cameras.
Or you could use Eminem’s famous Moon Shot, lifted from Rick Fulkerson’s RIAA Porno movie. And while you’re there, don’t forget his The True Pirates of Music, Music Industry Mafia and RIAA Copying or Stealing.
And if that doesn’t grab you, there are plenty of choice maximus gluteous pix online.
In fact, ways the good folk of Los Angeles can show the Big Seven movie studio cartel’s MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) what they think of their Big Brother spy tactics are endless.
And they don’t involve extreme measures that could get you arrested.
Meanwhile, “Hasn’t it crossed their mind that maybe people sell knockoff DVD’s INSIDE?” – asks a Reader’s Write. “Even if there were no spycameras, nobody’s stupid enough to sell their warez outside with cops everywhere.
“Anyway, why the hell are they using this new technology for THIS (of all things) instead of catching the real criminals? I laugh everytime I hear the MPAA or RIAA’s new scheme, because they end up pissing away even more money then they earn from people who are scared or guilt-tripped into buying their stuff.”
Stay tuned.

We could just stand in front of them and hand out copies of p2p software. There is nothing illegal about that and that wouldn’t make the mpaa happy at all.

One technique that seems to unnerve the ‘watchers’ enormously is ’surveilling surveillance’. There are organized such events, including a weekly tour of Manhattan where a leader takes a tour group around to show them the various surveillance cameras that are NOT dedicated to an obvious purpose, like at a bank ATM, or at the entrance to a building where the camera is aimed in such a fashion that it minimizes the number of passers by whose facial image may get recorded, or the broadcast cameras that are mounted around various attractions and venues to be part of the morning news shows, New Years Eve, Letterman, etc. These cameras are owned and controlled by the broadcast media and are turned off when not being used.
The tour group then merrily takes pictures and videos are the surveillance camera while pointing at it etc. Early on, the groups were confronted several times about their ‘conduct’, but soon the police and the private camera operators (like in the Diamond District on 47th St) got used to it.
Right before the Republican Convention in 2004 there were several VERY abrasive confrontations involving the FBI and Secret Service of those surveilling surveillance. In almost all cases the ’suspicious’ individual was free to go upon forking over their ID and having it duly recorded by the security mignions.
Land of the free, eh?
