Sounds like a plant by the MPAA (especially if they used a tripod).
Maybe they're using it as an example, to show congress (and the public) that copy protection, and the DMCA is needed after all.
"We have to create an evolutionary approach in an open standards way"
"Common standards are the things that equalise everybody"
"It is very important we adopt a common standard space

A senior Microsoft executive made the above comments. No, really. What you do need to know though is that they came from Paul Mitchell, Microsoft's senior director of Microsoft TV Platforms Group, speaking at the Interactive TV Show Europe in London this morning.
On one hand they want to propreitize protocols (Computers) and on the other they want to open them up (digital TV). Can Microsoft have it's cake and eat it too?
All these years people have been saying use different logins and passwords for different machines, so if one gets hacked, the others are still fairly safe. However with Microsoft passport's single sign-on and Microsoft's elite security implementation, the wisdom of the elders is being thrown out with the bathwater.
With the use of HSRP at most major sites, and BGP4 on the backbone, the underlying design of resilience on the internet is still there.
One problem that was reported on/. is the size of the routing tables, the larger the routing tables get the longer it takes for convergence to happen in the event of a change on the network.
I guess one point I'm trying to make is that the design and underlying concepts are still valid but are being made moot by the explosive growth by brother Bob, and Ma and Pa setting up shop on the net.
