A "license" isn't a thing--it's a right or privilege to do or not do something. The State keeps a complete record of you and the scope of your driving license at the Department of Licensing.

Not too hard.
Why go? The MPAA is a fierce advocate for repressive copyright restrictions. If you stop going to the movies, you stop their money.
Besides, almost every movie in the theaters is an expensive imitative mess.
The "movie industry" should die. We'll do much better with a wide array of cheaply made productions.
