Cablevision ought to start running spots...

Run spots about the MPAA and these channels wanting to deny customers this stuff and give phone numbers so that customers can flood the MPAA and their whining schoolgirl members with phone calls.

The MPAA which quickly find itself on the wrong side of a PR war and get their member networks unneeded heat.

And if the MPAA wants to try and bully Cablevision or other operators, the telcos and cable operators ought use their "union" to set price caps for channels so that if the MPAA members ever want their crap seeing a single customer, they'll straighten up and fly right.

The MPAA would quickly STFU when their membership starts running into roadblocks or starts seeing their channels get dropped by major cable operators.

The MPAA needs DBS and cable operators more than cable and DBS operators need the MPAA (as cable operators just start or buy their own channels).

As if they really care? They control most of what people 'want' to watch and can dictate the rules. Now if everyone stopped buying their services, then something might be done (and most people are like my wife, "So? I do not care, I can buy up the 30-60 year old shows for $25 a DVD and watch them on my current machine so I am happy")

The MPAA is nothing without their membership and if their membership starts hurting for whatever reason and the MPAA is to blame or partly to blame, the MPAA will correct it's ways or die as members leave the organization that causes them problems.

Exactly. But people are the ones who have to make them hurt, and most people could care less.
