Bi-polar Disorder?

Or just plain stupidity? There's a new anti-piracy bill in Congress. Some of the provisions are:

The bill also would make it a federal crime to use video cameras to record films in movie theaters, and it would set tough penalties of up to 10 years in prison for anyone caught distributing a movie or song prior to its commercial release.

"Imagine the frustration of spending months or even years working on an album only to have those carefully crafted plans usurped by an eleventh-hour theft," said Mitch Bainwol, chief executive for the Recording Industry Association of America.

And now the stupid part:

The bill's most controversial provision focused on new filtering technology that lets parents automatically skip or mute sections of commercial movies that contain foul language, violence or nudity.

Imagine the frustration of spending months or even years working on a movie, only to have your work neutered and compromised by some censoring DVD player because some idiot parent can't figure out that maybe they shouldn't be renting R-rated movies for their 10-year-old kid.
