MPPA writes better parody than the experts
The Motion Picture Association of America has recently employed a team of comedy writers in crafting its press release concerning tomorrows Blackout by prominent websites which include Wikipedia.
It is an irresponsible response and a disservice to people who rely on them for information use their services. It is also an abuse of power given the freedoms these companies enjoy in the marketplace today. It’s a dangerous and troubling development when the platforms that serve as gateways to information intentionally skew the facts to incite their users in order to further their corporate interests.
A so-called “blackout” is yet another gimmick, albeit a dangerous one, designed to punish elected and administration officials who are working diligently to protect American jobs from foreign criminals. It is our hope that the White House and the Congress will call on those who intend to stage this “blackout” to stop the hyperbole and PR stunts and engage in meaningful efforts to combat piracy.”
In shutting down "their own websites" in protest over a proposed law that could lead to U.S. government censorship of any website that is deemed dangerous to or part of a so called criminal enterprise can be blocked similar to what the Chinese government does with its Great Fire Wall.
This sentence gives one an idea of just how far down the hole of bad comedy the MPAA has thrown its self.
It is also an abuse of power given the freedoms these companies enjoy in the marketplace today.
Given that the right to protest is still guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution one has to wonder if the MPPA has taken to abusing drugs in its effort to promote its inner Dictator
