    I thought that "NAMBLA" was the "MPAA's" sister site anyway.

    lol... who is running MPAA? Bunch of *****s...

    They should be embracing technology, making it cheaper and easier for users to buy movies. Instead of trying to pork everyone and control everything. I'm confident they could make MORE money if they adopted a business strategy that catered to the modern youth and their craving for instant video.

    MPAA is going about this battle all wrong, and eventually it will be their un-doing.
  5. Okey, but without google the internet keeps working, right?

    Oh my God, I guess you have to be a full blown sociopath, with paranoid delusions of grandeur, to even apply for a job with the MPAA.

    This is scary folks, think about it. They're libel to field a "MoomPah" party candidate for president in 2012!

    Wish I hadn't googled that, was better off not knowing.
  12. Just when I thought that MPAA is already at rock bottom, then this news came up. How silly can they be...

    I hope this isn't serious, I think there would be a riot if they threatened to end google... and I'd be amongst the rioters hahaha(I'm only joking but it's serious =/).

    And besides google's not the only big search engine and people have plenty of other ways to share stuff over the internet, what are film and music studios going to do, ban the internet? AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA yeah I would LOVE to see them just try that, and fail badly =P

    They've got the forums stirred up and got themselves a headline...That's a win for MPAA.
  15. OMFG WHY HAS NO ONE COVERED THIS????

    The North American Man/boy Love Association is Partners with The Motion Picture Association of America

    This is...SO FREAKING FUNNY

    Pedophiles are the ones Threatning you. WOW

    BTW (Hypothetically Speaking)

    MPAA gets a warrant to shut down internet, - I WILL RIOT.

    i'll turn this place into greece in a heart beat.
  16. i think stars and the movie company's make to much money as it is.
  17. first off the MPAA is about as powerful as the 11 year old bully down the street...literally like the trash talking fat kid on facebook that has insecurity issues because nobody likes them. Actors and producers make millions a year, I thought acting was a passion, of course today, acting is overrated with the likes of the Jersey Shore, Jerseylicious, Real Housewives of NJ, lets just combine it and say reality TV, Kate plus 8, and stupid movies like most of the adam sandler flicks and remakes of older classic movies.... I wanna see the MPAA shut down google, and then cry because no one will support their actions afterwards when everyone starts to download mass amounts of torrents.
  18. This article is horribly written. Please, hire a proofreader or run through a grammar checker first.
  19. Sems too bea a pertty gud red two me.

    *shrugs*

    If you watch the Daily Show, you'll probably have noticed if there is some conspiracy or unexplained event in the news/media they will blame NAMBLA. So this does not surprise me.
