Second was clearly fake to me, but first one was entirely too realistic.

Despite some tongue in cheek, that's the way I saw it as well. Trouble is - given the extremes these organisations have gone to in the past to snaffle up every spare consumer dollar there is to be had - now some gormless twerp with a penchant for bullsh!t stories has given them an idea as to how they may be able get their greedy paws on and count those remaining dollars which were never spare.
There are only so many consumer dollars to go around, and it seems to me, if the MPAA and RIAA can get their wicked ways, to snaffle up as many of those bucks as possible, then the music and film industries will the only viable ones left on the planet...
It won't matter if people are naked, starving and without medical attention....so long as they've ALL paid to watch a DVD or listen to a CD, then all is well....'cept all the artists will have perished as well, due to food, clothing and medical industries falling by the wayside to make way for the ALMIGHTY media machine.
Tell ya what, we'd be well and truly F***ed if they ever joined forces with Google, which is also attempting to take over the world....and beyond with its GoogleEarth project looking outwards into the Universe. Not only would we be bombarded with ads promoting all manner of media entertainment, we'd have Google's truth and honesty policy constantly reminding us of just how naked and hungry we are - but should still thank our lucky stars that we can watch copyrighted Abbott and Costello movies on DVD at $25 per head in our own homes and sitting in our own recliner rockers.
Yep, I can see it now, The MPAA and RIAA have successfully lobbied govt to pass all this legislation to hand over total media control.....then to have them pass a bill which makes 85% of social security payments made by way of entertainment vouchers, redeemable only via an MPAA or RIAA outlet...well why not, there'd be eff all left to spend it on elsewhere.
Sarcasm, eh...how truth can be stranger than fiction....how fiction can sometimes become the truth. A few years back many people thought space travel was purely science fiction - "impossible", they all said! Well we all now know it is a reality, so never rule anything out....particularly when it's driven by corporate greed and policies formulated by tacticians so low they'd need a step-ladder to tickle a snakes belly.
Gotta go...the missus says I gotta take my meds and lay down for some 'quiet time'.
