It used to be "You can click but you can't hide" but now the MPAA is going even further. While it might be small potatoes compared to the $4.8 million police were granted to get you to buckle up, the MPAA has given $186 grand for surveillance cameras to be placed in LA's downtown Fashion district -- the "hotbed of hard copy movie piracy" according to Daily Variety.

We hear the LAPD can swing a baton with the power of the Force, too.

Isn't that right, Emperor Glickman?
