Hollywood sold him the content, he paid for his movies
Too bad Hollywood ignored a viable market such as Linux users and didn't provide tools nor an intention to provide such tools as to allow native access to the content that they purchased. They have a number of licensed DVD players for the Windows platform, they have a generous use of Open Source and Linux for animation/movie production, but not enough respect to create such players for Linux and Open Source. Maybe they've broken into Open Source's house and stolen the work of others to make their rehashed tripe. So if they try to make a push into that market now or later, what Hollywood, you shouldn't be allowed into the house, . . no breaking and entering into that market.

Nice try coopting Norwegian law. Truly an international menace, Hollywood just isn't local. An stupity just isn't a RIAA exclusive. What is it again, if it wasn't created by or bought off by the corporation, it surely will be suppressed, sued, and buried by it.
