We've heard that the MPAA has once again summoned its team of heroic, pirate-hating lawyers for a fresh round of litigation against movie file-sharers (or as we like to call them, its customers), and the piping-hot lawsuits should be arriving sometime soon...like tomorrow. It seems that last month's opening round of legal intimidation somehow failed to immediately cease the scourge of movie piracy, necessitating this coming larger-scale offensive. We think we know why the earlier suits haven't driven downloaders to more savory expressions of their respect for copyrights: The idea of "lawsuits" is too abstract. How scary can a piece of paper with a bunch of big words on it be? If tomorrow's expected action fails to solve the problem once and for all, we recommend that the MPAA randomly select nine "example" pirates and nail one to each letter of the Hollywood sign. That would grab the attention of America's broadband-wielding scofflaws a lot more effectively than some stationary with Dan Glickman's signature on it.
