http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2015/10/how_army_of_darkness_is_like_the_digital_millennium_copyright_act.html There's a surprising parallel between this situation and Sam Raimi's 1992 horror-comedy classic Army of Darkness, in which a portal transports supermarket clerk Ash Williams (along with his car, shotgun, and chainsaw) to 1300, where he's immediately imprisoned by the medieval land's inhabitants. Ash's primary goal is to get back to modern times--and he needs the Necronomicon to do it. Once he finds the book, Ash is supposed to say a magic phrase to dispel the malevolent Deadite forces from the land and return home.
