Hollywood's not happy that the President has signed legislation allowing content blockers on DVD systems. Apparently, a parent being able to control what their child watches is a violation of copyright laws, according to the biz.
And this from the same people who claim that it is up to the parents, and not the government, to police what their children watch. Yet, when something comes along that allows that, Hollywood does everything in their power to destory it.
Seriously, I don't have any desire to get one of these and I tend to think that if a movie needs one, you probably shouldn't be letting your kids see it anyway. But, parents deserve the right to do as they see fit in protecting their children. Hollywood has no business in telling parents what they can and can't control when it comes to their children. They'll make the same amount of money they would off of the DVD if someone else bought it and did not use editing equipment.
And let's not pretend that Hollywood is really intersted in "the art." Hollywood long ago showed that they have no interest in the "art" of film. If they did, sequels would be the exception rather than the rule, horror movies would be terrifying for their atmosphere instead of gore, comedies would be funny for reasons other than nudity and fart jokes, Sci-Fi would actually dare to consider new frontiers rather than recycling the same horror/action garbage, Clint Eastwood would never be able to make another movie where he makes fun of his age, Denzel Washington would be required to play someone other than himself in at least every other role, and Steven Segal would never be seen on camera again.
