### MPAA Copyright Demands, Net Neutrality Motives

- **Published:** 2018-11-26

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) releases a document outlining aggressive copyright enforcement goals, including automated content filtering and ISP-level blocking of "unlawful" traffic. The hosts argue this reveals the true corporate motive behind supporting Net Neutrality: the power to mandate that ISPs block pirate sites and VPN traffic.

Vice President Joe Biden delivered a speech to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), where he "preened" about his influence and his meetings with Chancellor Angela Merkel. Biden claimed he had to leave a high-level meeting in the Oval Office specifically to speak with Chris Dodd's group about trade. The hosts mock Biden's self-importance and his "name-dropping" behavior in front of the Hollywood elite.

### BitTorrent Piracy, Law Firm Settlements, Screen Actors Guild Executive

The pornography industry faces significant challenges from BitTorrent piracy, leading some content owners to work with law firms that target individual IP addresses for settlements. These firms often demand thousands of dollars from users, with the content owner receiving only a small percentage of the take. One notable case involved a high-ranking executive at the Screen Actors Guild who reportedly settled for $100,000 to avoid public exposure.

### Chris Dodd Hollywood Threats, SOPA/PIPA Fallout

- **Published:** 2012-01-22

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/376-party-ecropolis/chapter/chris-dodd-hollywood-threats-sopa-pipa-fallout.md

Former Senator and current MPAA head Chris Dodd is criticized for publicly threatening politicians who withdrew support for SOPA/PIPA. Dodd's comments are interpreted as an open admission of the "bribe-and-pay" nature of Hollywood campaign contributions. The hosts argue that the Megaupload bust was timed to provide a real-world justification for the anti-piracy legislation.

### SOPA and PROTECT IP Act DNS Interference

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/361-the-fact-of-the-bladder/chapter/sopa-and-protect-ip-act-dns-interference.md

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act are analyzed as tools for the RIAA and MPAA to exert control over the internet. The hosts explain that these laws allow the government to break DNS records to effectively shut down websites without due process. They argue the legislation is less about counterfeit physical goods and more about the entertainment industry's desire to control content distribution ahead of the election cycle.
