Glickman ousted in anti-p2p role
p2p news / p2pnet:- The movie studios have clearly lost faith in Dan ‘Jedi’ Glickman’s ability to effectively lead the good fight against p2p and file sharers.
From October 1, ex-Screen Actors Guild (SAG) stalwart Bob Pisano steps up to take charge of the anti-p2p effort as president and operations boss of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), says the movie studio pseudo-kop unit.
He’ll have day-to-day responsibility “operations, domestic and international, other than Washington, DC-based external and governmental affairs,” says the MPAA.
Glickman, meanwhile, will, “lead the motion picture industry’s voluntary rating system, the Classification and Rating Administration (CARA) and its companion Advertising Administration,” says the MPAA.
But ex-MPAA boss Jack Valenti continues to lurk in the background.
“I consult with Jack a lot – he’s still my mentor – and he advised me that I needed to do what was best for me,” the SAG Watchdog has Glickman saying.
“I’m not Jack, and this is what I need to do.”

If anyone thinks that having a labor union guy deal with p2p is going to fundamentally change the direction and strategy of the MPAA, they should recall that Ronald Reagan was once the President of SAG.
