MPAA planning site to offer legit movie links

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/pictu...&pictureid=205

"The Motion Picture Association of America has tried any number of tactics to fight piracy, but its latest scheme might actually prove useful to movie consumers on the Internet. The group is supposedly working on a new website that will offer information on how to find legit sources of movies so that users won't have to resort to copyright infringement."

"The site, which does not yet have a name, would allow users to search for film titles, and in return it would provide links to places to buy movie tickets, to locations where searchers could buy or rent a DVD, or to sites where they can buy or rent a download from an online source. All of the major movie studios are behind the initiative, an anonymous movie studio source told Variety, and all legit "partners" would be linked on the site. Assuming this information is accurate, it could include links to Fandango, Movietickets.com, Amazon, Netflix, iTunes, Xbox Live Video, Hulu, and more. The site will be not-for-profit (except, of course, that it will be pointing to a million places that sell/rent movies for profit)."

I don't see the point in this. Do they really think pirates had trouble finding were to buy the films they downloaded? lol stupid

Still, it's a step in the right direction. Or at least a step away from the wrong direction

They'd better get a law like: Movies older than 2-3 years can be seen freely... I mean something including FREE. Noone wants to actually pay :S
