[Cryptography] MPAA hasn't given up yet on breaking DNS

[mleech at ripnet.com]

The MPAA take themselves very, very, seriously. I work for a company
that has to provide services under MPAA "security" policies. It's
 absurd. I've worked on government clearance-required projects that
didn't have as much nonsense as the MPAA requires. 

The MPAA need to be taken down several notches. They are arrogant,
wrong-headed mouth-breathers who unfortunately pull a lot of the strings
in many parts of the world.
