Worries over new software / Hollywood concerned by online video sharing
October 05, 2004|By Benny Evangelista, Chronicle Staff Writer

A Mill Valley startup has released a new Internet program designed to let a closed group of up to 30 friends and family members legally share home videos, digital photos and favorite songs with each other.

The free software from Grouper NETWORKS Inc., founded by two online music pioneers, ALREADY has Hollywood worried that technology has opened yet another door for illegal copyright infringement on the Web.

Apparently they have new software that makes it easy to share your service with neighbors. And they seem to think it is not break copyright laws.

Well, this was not a total lose.
See if you can find a Spider Man 2 on line. It is, arguably, the best of the Spider Man series.I hardly ever watch Hollywood movies - I mainly watch European films - Spanish mostly, plus Italian French, Mexican, south American (Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, etc) and the odd Middle Eastern film from Lebanon and Tunisia. I do like some US TV series, Tru Blood, Dexter, Nurse Jackie. I think Six Feet Under was the best series I have ever seen, I have the box set and soon we'll watch it for the 3rd time. US films I have enjoyed include Goodfellas, the Godfather films, No Country For Old Men, Super Size Me...
Here in the USA many say that the foreign files have more nudity. Is that true? We Americans are very sensitive about nudity. Blood and internal organs are fair, but skin is prohibited.

Two American censors watch a clip of a murder scene for a unfinished movie:
Censor 1: Did you see that! He sliced her naked body repeatedly with a butcher knife..
Censor 2: Yes, we need to have them do that scene over again. We must protect the children who might see this on the Movie channel while the parents  away.
Censor 1: To reduce the amount of blood and guts"
Censor 2: No, they just need to out some cloths on her.
Censor 1: Yes! Quote from: Geek-9pm on October 05, 2011, 02:28:27 PM

I would guess so. You get to see penises sometimes, and ladies rugs (the kind that match the drapes or not) but only briefly usually. In the US series I mentioned you saw ladies bare chests and heard the F and C words. You hear the N word in Quentin TARANTINO films.

February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
