It's not what the NSA knows about citizens... it's what the NSA knows about lawmakers
One has to wonder how many midnight phone calls these guys received saying, "forcing NSA to report will force the NSA to report those calls you've been making to underage girls...."
They aren't going to innovate themselves out of a job.
If your job is to manage the release windows and make sure that everything gets released at the right time, everywhere, why do you want to get rid of release windows?
These dinosaurs will change when they have to change, and not a moment before, because these middle managers aren't going to put themselves and their subordinates out of work.

It's about people in the music industry keeping their jobs.

Supreme Court: You can't patent math.
Patent office: Patent granted for math.
Conclusion: Supreme Court is wrong.
By the rules of logic, it is a valid conclusion, but it is nevertheless absurd in the real world, which is what it was supposed to point out.

Re: It sound kinda alarming...
The issue (just like with the music industry) is that the industry mouthpieces need to justify their existence.
And the great thing (for them) about piracy, is that it will never go away. Automatic job security!
Until the studios tell the MPAA to stop pissing off customers, the MPAA will continue to piss off customers.

Actually, it's a picture taken of the movie playing on a television.
