Kerry Howley of Reason interviews Kirby Dick, who’s promoting his film This Film Is Not Yet Rated:
Reason: Has there been any retaliation from the MPAA since they saw your film and slapped it with an NC-17 rating?
KD: They pirated my film.
…
The attorney from the MPAA who makes the animated appearance in my film calls me up and says “Kirby, I have to tell you, we have a copy of your film. But you don’t have to worry, because it’s safe in my vault.” Well, you can imagine how reassuring that was.
…
The MPAA, this paragon of anti-piracy, has taken my film eight months before its theatrical release, and has copies circulating I don’t know where. Maybe the film is in Malaysia by now. I hope so.
