Five Years In Jail For Putting A Movie
Online
11/12/2003 09:04 PMThe latest Hollywood friendly law to be proposed by some Senators who
have strong Hollywood financial backing would
make it a felony to take a video camera into a movie theater or to
put a film up on the internet, with penalties including up to five
years in jail. Of course, we already have copyright law that covers
this particular crime, but that's not enough for folks in Hollywood
who seem to believe that the more you criminalize, the more people
will want to pay you. Now, clearly, videotaping a film in the theater
or putting it on the internet is illegal. But, I don't see how it
requires a new law, or how anyone could possibly justify
five
years in prison for the action. The bill won't go anywhere as
it's being introduced just as the session is ending, but it is likely
to show up again next year. It will be interesting to see what
happens when video cameras on mobile phones become more common. Will
people be prevented from taking their phones into the theater as well?
If someone wants to record a brief clip to send to a friend (which
could be seen as
promoting the film) will they get tossed in
jail?

Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience
03/22/2005 05:03 PMYesterday we noted that the MPAA and movie theater owners were
whini
ng about how much people coming in an taping movies was hurting
their business. The obvious response, we pointed out, is to recognize
that going to the movies is a
social experience. It's not just
about the content (though, that is important), but the overall
experience. If they improved that, then people would want to go --
even if they could score the same movie off the internet or a cheap
DVD bought off the street. While the folks in Hollywood refuse to
entertain this idea, someone (anonymously) in the comments to that
story pointed to an article in China noting that
this is exactly what Chinese movie theaters have done.
After years of declining attendance, they finally shaped up and made
going to the movies cool again. They improved the overall experience,
putting in better equipment and more comfortable seats. They improved
the sound and the lighting as well. It sounds like they also made
some theaters to be more like bars, to help attract young adults away
from traditional bars. Yet the supposedly "creative" movie people in
Hollywood insist "nothing can be done" to get people into the theater.

96-Year-Old Mayor May Be Oldest in U.S.
(AP)
12/22/2004 01:02 AMAP - In a community where everyone is over 55, it's fitting that Mayor
Dorothy Geeben's age has made her a celebrity of sorts. At 96, Geeben
may be the nation's oldest mayor. She's so well- liked in her the
retirement community of nearly 1,000 that no one is opposing her
re-election this week, and her next two-year term will last through
the end of 2006, or nine months past her 98th birthday.

years old. For the first time ever, the public will have a chance to
