I'm going to a lecture by a former MPAA Attorney next Monday. There will be time for him to answer some questions. If you have any questions you want answered let me know and I'll do my best to get some of them answered.

MPAA= Motion Pictures Association of America
It's the RIAA for Movies.

How much money did MPAA give to the boy scouts (or how did the MPAA blackmail the boyscouts) to convince them into rewarding scouts with a "Copyright merit badge/patch?"

heh, I'll ask but I'm not sure if he'll know anything about it since that's pretty recent and I'm not sure when he stopped working for the MPAA.
