Just greedy
I guess the MPAA finally read the proposals by some of the Indie companies to distribute opening day films online at the same time as at the theaters and found out they weren't in on the cut. I don't remember where I saw it, but there was talk of using BitTorrent as a possible means of distro. So I would assume this is just an effort to stop the legitimate uses by painting it ALL as illegal.

Sound familiar, Don? wink
