As befits a man who has spent years in DC, the MPAA's Dan Glickman has polished his share of folksy analogies to a shine. "I used to grow popcorn, and now I sell it," he told a crowd of bankers and analysts yesterday at the UBS Global Media & Communications Conference in New York, a reference to his tenure as Secretary of Agriculture. Now, though, Glickman is the self-described "chief hired gun or mercenary for the [motion picture] industry," and his comments give us a window into what the movie studios are thinking. His words yesterday revealed that movie execs are thinking about one thing in particular: the technology that can be used to halt film piracy, and that they expect ISPs to implement it.
