Yep. They wanna charge us to watch it in the theatre. Then, they wanna charge us to watch it in our homes before the DVD is released. Then, they wanna charge us to purchase the disc and stick it on our shelves.Coming soon to a home theatre near you: MPAA initiates micro-payment structures to charge us each time we watch a DVD we purchased from them.

And despite opposing VCRs in the beginning, they managed to turn those VCRs into a multi-billion dollar business.

The goal is to make you pay as much as possible for CD's, DVD's, and to buy authorized copies of broadcast shows. It will be a sad day when you can't record a simple tv show.
