MPAA President Jack Valenti Clueless At DVD Piracy

AG writes: "In this week's Village Voice, Jeff Howe continues his coverage of the legal battle the MPAA and Hollywood film studios are waging over DVD decryption. The current article finds MPAA president Jack Valenti not quite sure who or why he's suing." We've already gone over this on Slashdot, but it's nice to see the Voice covering this whole issue with truth in mind (the other NYC papers are either printing Valenti's Op-Ed piece or writing their own about all the Internet DVD pirates). This article does contain one interesting bit: Valenti saying playing DVDs on Linux is illegal was supposed to have been redacted from the transcripts.
