When they get back to the editing room, they realize that on the television, you can barely make out the show for two seconds; it's "The Simpsons," Homer Simpson on the screen. So they call up Matt Groening, who was a friend of the documentary filmmaker, and say, you know, Is this going to be a problem? It's only a couple seconds. Matt says, No, no, no, it's not going to be a problem, call so and so.Now you look at this and you say this is insane. It's insane.The problem is their insane rules are now being applied to the whole world. This insanity of control is expanding as everything you do touches copyrights.
