As American factories shut down and the war at Iraq becomes a greater confussion by the day, Schwarzenegger is more concerned about the cash flow from poor people to actors, like himself, who are paid millions of dollars for a few days work.

If the price of DVDs were what they should be, about $5 each and not the absurd $25 they cost and leading actors were paid decent salaries and not the millions for a few days of work, then we could undertstand a struggle against profit based piracy, but then only in your own country.

Sovereign countries like China should decide their own fate and how to manage copyrights without the interference of any other countries.

“Mysteriously, somehow this is missing with the Sony Debacle.”

Sony is a payola company. The payola also includes the press. That is how they get their artists and movies plugged in the press.

The attitude of the press towards Sony is “don’t bite the hand that feeds you”.

Jackie chan is being “coerced” and “forced” into this. Trust me on this, the whole concept of “IP” is foreign to Asians.

In fact it “was” foreign to Europeans as well not too long ago. Only in the last few decades has it infected Europeans.

Either way,

ASTA LA VISTA Arnold……… You’re time as governor is over………. PEOPLE HATE YOU ARNOLD………. YOU WILL NEVER BE WELCOMED AS A “FULL MEMBER” in the “club” (for those who can’t figure out this hint,,,,,, think harder! This “club” is the same one Tony Blair and Koizumi both DESIRE to be in so badly!).

Well enough for the hints…

Cheers

As time passes I like Schwarzenegger less and less…. but damnit I liked Chan.. guess he’s on my anti-buy/anti-rent list now as well

Fair freaking use. lol, some times I feel like I’m wasting by breath - these people are relentless about their position about as much as the pro-p2p ppl are…

Alas, caca happens.. I’d like to see the video though for a laugh or two.

Anything to devert attention from the unwanted Sony affair. Look for more of these types of showings and more on the infringement scene as announcements of “They’re stealing our stuff!” going on. Such bread and circus routines are more to the media’s liking than what might cut into their bottom lines by running “exposures” of dirty dealings of their masters.

To be sure, the lamescream is running second thought articles but nothing that reflects the true meanings of the Sony Debacle. Had this been a hacker doing rootkits, stealing from already licensed stuff, and crashing security across the Department of Defense, it would have been front page stuff with everyone across the country in any political position screaming for heads to be hung. Mysteriously, somehow this is missing with the Sony Debacle. All is unusually quite on that front for some unexplained and unfathomed reason. Go figure…

The Chineese would laugh at it. In a tightly controled state like Comunist China they wouldn’t have the bootleg problem they have with movies if someone in government weren’t playing ball.
