MPAA Have Shit for Brains - Official!. 
Sometimes we can all be forgiven for not learning from others'
mistakes. Maybe we're not aware that the mistakes that have been made.
Or perhaps we fail to notice the parallels.
But the similarities between the much publicised RIAA's largely unsuccessful actions and the ones just about to be embarked on my their retarded cousins over at their Motion Picture Academy of America are blindingly obvious.
Even if they succeed in closing down BitTorrent (unlikely as it has
tons of legitimate uses), new ones will emerge Hydra-like somewhere
else and be even more difficult to stop. Look at what happened with
Napster.
These court actions are just the MPAA's anger response, which has
followed years of denial that this would happen. The bargaining,
depression and acceptance phases are coming soon.
What do you call a person who does exactly the same thing and
expects a different result? "Optimistic to the point of stupidity"
would be a kind way of answering the question. "Shit for brains" would
be more honest.
When will these people realise that you can't stuff this cat back
into the bag? They need to accept that the world's changing, deal with
it and move on. But initiating a round of legal initiatives against
their customers just can't make sense. "Don't sue customers"
sits alongside with "try and make money" and "don't greet your
customers in the nude" as being such obvious rules that they're not
even mentioned in even the most basic business books. [The Mobile Technology Weblog]
