From Excite! News: NEW YORK (AP) – Nearly 150 directors, including Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and Robert Redford, are urging the Motion Picture Association to repeal its decision to stop sending out special DVDs and videos to Oscar voters.
The directors sent a letter to Jack Valenti, urging the MPAA to immediately repeal the anti-piracy plan it implemented last week.
The ban on sending screeners means the 5,600 Academy Awards voters will have to catch most movies in theaters.
