Jack Valenti: The Exit Interview
thecounterfeit writes "Engadget has an interview with Jack Valenti, the outgoing president of the MPAA and the object of hatred for many hacker after he took he on DVD Jon, who is retiring tomorrow after more than three decades on the job. Engadget could have been a little harder on him when he says stuff like, "When you go to your department store and you buy 10 Cognac glasses and two weeks later you break two of them, the store doesn't give you two backup copies," but it is at least slightly encouraging to hear that he owns a TiVo."
I really do believe we can stuff enough algorithms in a movie that only the dedicated hackers can spend the time and effort to try to plumb through those 1,000 algorithms to try to find a way to beat it.
Yes, clearly the man is an expert on the tech side of the issue and we all should listen to what he has to say about the tech.
Seriously, nobody should be surprised of the fuss caused by this guy. I mean, who'd be surprised that a truck driver (or a businessman for that matter) would screw up a surgery? Jack would be better off listening more carefully to the suggestions of his tech savvy advisors.
