Sound Familiar?

The movie industry says the proposed revisement to the DMCA (that allows consumers to copy DVD's they own [imagine that]) is going to "legalize hacking."

Jack Valenti, head of the MPAA:
"It legalises hacking. It allows you to make a copy or many copies, and the 1000th copy of a DVD, Mr. Chairman, is as pure and pristine as the original."

Besides the pristine quality, this was the argument against consumer VHS and Beta video tape recorders. And the average consumer doesn't care overly about an exact copy.

Do these guys even think? The damage done in public image to the RIAA and MPAA has cost them more than any new technology ever could. Let the people have the technology. See the effects. If it really hurts your sales then fight or adapt. Stop whining.
