so this law says that ClearPlay doesn't have to pay a license to the producers of movies to which it sells its christo-filters, which i suppose is ok. however, it also sneaks this little weiner up your butthole on the reverse:

Quote:
it would set tough penalties of up to 10 years in prison for anyone caught distributing a movie or song prior to its commercial release.


have fun with that.

i wonder if you put The Passion into this thing if it would just start smoking...
is there a religious context sensor? Otherwise that and Ichi are pretty mcuh the same movie. only one doesn't suck.

does this mean we're all going to jail?

no, this company sells a filter, that i guess you put on a usb drive or something, that you use when you put your DVD into a ClearPlay-compatible dvd player.

and yes we are going to jail, but not for this specifically.

Well that’s just stupid. If I wanted to watch crappy movies with their least crappy scenes edited out I’d watch PAX.

Oh, and I call top bunk.

Haha. PAX.

Oops, late for my "Our House" re-runs. That Wilford Brimley sure is a wise ol' fella.
