Our home theaters may need a ticket booth if Congress passes this law.
MPAA Lobbying for Home Theater Regulations
Los Angeles , CA - The MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) is lobbying congress to push through a new bill that would make unauthorized home theaters illegal. The group feels that all theaters should be sanctioned, whether they be commercial settings or at home.MPAA head Dan Glickman says this needs to be regulated before things start getting too far out of control, "We didn't act early enough with the online sharing of our copyrighted content. This time we're not making the same mistake. We have a right to know what's showing in a theater."
The bill would require that any hardware manufactured in the future contain technology that tells the MPAA directly of what is being shown and specific details on the audience. The data would be gathered using various motion sensors and biometric technology.
The MPAA defines a home theater as any home with a television larger than 29" with stereo sound and at least two comfortable chairs, couch, or futon. Anyone with a home theater would need to pay a $50 registration fee with the MPAA or face fines up to $500,000 per movie shown.
I suggest uncomfortable chairs may be the answer.

That is beyond ridiculous! In other words, the MPAA wants to monitor almost every household in america with motion sensors and other technology? No way. Absolutely nuts!

This is on BBSpot-it is a satire news site, so I hope this was a satire post.
