Copyright claims clamp down on creativity
,----[ Quote ]
| At least, it's an impossibility from our perspective. Copyright ownership and
| management's something of a big deal here in America: the RIAA, MPAA and even
| the various writer's guilds have been stirring up some serious muck about who
| can use what intellectual property when and how.

MPAA Matches RIAA In Massive Layoffs
,----[ Quote ]
| I missed this one when it initially happened, but it looks like the MPAA is
| following in the footsteps of the RIAA -- who recently laid off a bunch of
| folks. Apparently the MPAA quickly followed suit and drastically scaled back
| after the studios cut the MPAA's funding by about 15 to 20%.
