MPAA Committed To Fair Use and DRM
Doctor Jay writes "At a LexisNexis Conference on DRM this week, MPAA's Dan Glickman announced that the MPAA was fine with consumers ripping DVDs for portable video players and home media servers. 'In his speech to industry insiders at the posh Beverly Hills Four Seasons hotel, Glickman repeatedly stressed that DRM must be made to work without constricting consumers. The goal, he said, was "to make things simpler for the consumer," and he added that the movie studios were open to "a technology summit" featuring academics, IT companies, and content producers to work on the issues involved.'"
Making a copy of something is not "stealing".
If I had a big red button in front of me saying:
"CLICK TO MAKE INFRINGEMENT THEFT"
I'd press it, just to silence you all, annoying naggers.
Further more, EU is on the way to make illegal copying into actual full-fledged theft, by law. With all extras. Let's see how will you be able to argue on a technicality then.
