    The MPAA is coming after you tinman!

    I really really hate the MPAA and the RIAA. Stupid and useless middlemen.

    Oh it's real. Google MPAA and 99% of the links will be money-grubbing attacks on your right to fair use.

    LOL - it makes me want to go download a ton of movies and thumb my nose at their stupidity.

    The games industry has had to deal with pirates forever, and the dirty little secret is that it actually HELPS out industry, as most pirates also purchase games.

    They are being silly.

    This has to be a joke.

    What I like is the use of motion sensors and biometrics. The federal government doesn't have my thumbprint but the MPAA does. Awesome!

    I've been googling around - appears that this may be indeed satire.

    I guess I would not be surprised at all to see this as real.
