This forum has been a bit quiet - no news? - or just bored?

Anyhow the current parliament is rushing through a few new laws, and one that seems a bit silly is the one controlling the film industry. It limits the showing of films in places other than cinemas, and restricts what films can be imported. These restrictions are not likely to stop imports or film screenings, but some of the layers of red-tape may harm the local film industry. Film producers could be discouraged and give up.
