At CinemaCon this year, the Motion Picture Association Chairman and CEO Charles Rivkin said the organization is going to work with Congress to establish and enforce a site-blocking legislation in the United States.
Curious, I checked out Chris Dodd and wonder what he’s up to. He’s a close advisor now to Biden so I’d imagine he’s whispering in Biden’s ear and whoever will listen, about how much of piracy is ‘bad for ya’. In case anyone forgot, Chris Dodd was a major asshole during his 6 year stint (2011 - 2017) with MPAA and he ultimately failed in stopping piracy.
I don’t think this latest tactic will work. Congress couldn’t even understand Facebook and they couldn’t even hold Mark Zuckerberg of all people, accountable for his shit. Congress, MPAA and all the forces in the world couldn’t stop Kim Dotcom. MPAA, ACE and whatever, still cannot shut down The Pirate Bay.
They’ll just keep bashing their heads on the brick wall. The only victories they’ve gotten in all of the 20+ year decade war on piracy, is that most times, the sites go down because of lack of funding and support. They only take down big sites because they’ve found weak links or they’ve found those run-a-mouth pirates who’ve gotta go around talking shit about pirating to the point where they’re a liability then wonder why their favorite service/site is shut down.
