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

"At the same time, even this narrow limitation on ISPs' immunity could have the salutary effect of requiring ISPs to respond to takedown notices by *** disabling DNS lookups *** of pirate sites through the ISPs' own DNS servers, which is not currently a general practice."
