MPAA President to be Thrown Out

torrentfreak.com — MPAA chairman Dan Glickman is currently searching for another job. The Clinton-era cabinet minister has been head of the MPAA for the last four and a half years, but will be replaced in 18 months time because of his lacking performance. By contrast, Glickman’s predecessor, Jack Valenti held the office for 38 years.

  • rblancarte, on 04/02/2009, -1/+31Given the state of the economy, I am sure that he will have no problem finding new work.
  • TyrannousDotNet, on 04/03/2009, -0/+27because he downloaded Wolverine?
  • BigManOnCampus, on 04/02/2009, -0/+25He probably got a bonus this year.
  • LedZepAddict, on 04/02/2009, -1/+25Good Riddance.

  • b0ltacti0n, on 04/03/2009, -0/+11 "but will be replaced in 18 months time because of his lacking performance" - WTF???? Wow I want a job were I can be "lacking performance" for a YEAR AND HALF....
  • dlan4327, on 04/03/2009, -0/+10Dan Glickman - remove the an from Dan & remove the Gl from Glickman.

    You get Dickman. Coincidence? I think not.

    ***** THE MPAA & RIAA.
  • amabaie, on 04/03/2009, -0/+8No...because he leaked Wolverine. Seriously, does it make a difference who is there?
  • inactive, on 04/03/2009, -0/+7So what?

    They will just put another corporate ***** who will use less obvious methods of ***** the customers.

    A purely public relations move.

    Nothing more.

  • cowsgonemadd3, on 04/03/2009, -1/+8What if he does not own a donkey?
  • impedance101, on 04/03/2009, -0/+6Day of Defeat.
  • cazbar, on 04/03/2009, -2/+8This was inevitable. Any business who treats the majority of their customers like they are criminals is going to fail.
  • barc0001, on 04/03/2009, -0/+5Wow, it must be nice to have a job where they tell you 18 months ahead of time they're getting rid of you, especially in this economy. Most people get their notice when HR comes by with a security guard and a cardboard box.
  • deathandtaverns, on 04/03/2009, -0/+4Wait, so they want an even bigger prick to run it? Well I guess wallstreet isn't profitable anymore...
  • crappylinks, on 04/03/2009, -0/+4the MPAA sounds like the Dallas Cowboys - one guy runs it for decades, then a new guy comes every 3-4 years.
  • nepidae, on 04/03/2009, -0/+4***** Jack Valenti
  • eclectro, on 04/03/2009, -0/+3Lemme guess. He didn't have this polite "I'm just a country" boy drawl that Valenti threw around so well.
  • theaceoffire, on 04/03/2009, -0/+3Remove the "an", the "G", the "ickm", and you get "dlan"....

    O.O EVERYBODY RUN, IT IS A TRAP!
