Glad to see the Vice Pres has found something so useful to do during his time.

Piracy initiative cracks down on nine websites | delawareonline.com | The News Journal

John Morton, the assistant secretary of Immigration and Customs Enforcement knows where to hold serious business press conferences..

"If a site reappears, so will we. If the criminals move overseas, we will follow," he said at a press conference on the studio lot of The Walt Disney Co.

Im sure now with that extra 2% recovered profit now they wont be forced to make crappy remakes, right?
I just wish these studio exes would get a clearer picture of how technology has changed how we digest our entertainment now. Do you know how many shows or movies i have been turned on to by watching them online first? Exposure to your product will bring in money if it is worth buying. If i like a TV show or a movie on here, im going to go out and buy the season dvd set or see the movie at theaters. It's considered stealing, yet if i go out and fork over 12 bucks to see The A Team and i want my 2 hours and money back, all the sudden the playing field changes. Such greedy slimy people..

Another good article on the shutdown.

Everything will be monopolized thru Amazon or Itunes.

I never would of known how awesome Deadwood or Aqua Teen hunger force was if it weren't for streams, I also wouldn't of purchased the complete volumes of each.

They are short sighted as hell.
