Hollywood studios are taking a position on net neutrality – the principle that ISPs should not discriminate against small users when providing network bandwidth – and they’re against it. In reported remarks at the annual movie exhibitors conference ShoWest, MPAA chief Dan Glickman claimed that net neutrality would inhibit industry efforts to combat piracy – presumably because it would ensure that even pirate sites receive sufficient bandwidth for efficient uploads and downloads. (Glickman’s reported comments don’t include this, or any other, explanation, however.)
