The producer of dozens of films such as The Expendables and London Has Fallen called Barack Obama a "coward" who failed to force Google to remove links leading to piracy. Avi Lerner said the government was scared of Google and anyone who did not help stop the piracy "should go to jail."
Veteran filmmaker Avi Lerner is known for creating the Expendables trilogy, and seems to be doing well in the blame game.
"The government, and the president, are cowards. "They are afraid of Google, and so we are losing millions," he told AFP, according to TorrentFreak.
As the founder of production companies Nu Image and Millennium Films, Lerner knows piracy. In 2014, one of the first copies of The Expendables 3 was leaked online, much to the company's dismay.
UK authorities later in 2014 arrested two men associated with the leakage and a third was arrested in 2015, but so far the culprits have not been found in the United States. So Mr. Lerner complains about the lack of help from Google (and from Barack Obama).
"It's a big problem and something I don't know if anyone can stop, because the government, the president, and Congress are afraid of Google," Lerner said.
The film producer reports that Google has no incentive to halt piracy because piracy is creating.
But here somewhere he loses it by blaming responsibilities as piracy lives and reigns and except Google's ecosystem and will continue to do so even if Google disappears from the Internet.
But Lerner thinks he has the solution.
"You have to tell Google to stop piracy. "A law should be enacted to imprison or punish anyone who helps piracy, or does not help to stop piracy," he said.
It is not clear whether Mr Lerner was angry or whether he really does not understand how the whole system of piracy is working, but a suggestion of imprisonment to halt piracy is probably not the proposal.
Imagine whether this punishment should be extended to President Barack Obama if he does not co-ordinate with DMCA decisions.
Finally, who is the president? Barack Obama or the DMCA?
