Re: [dvd-discuss] Senator plans anti-piracy copyright legislation

I don't think these people understnad that they are wasting a lot of time 
figuring out how to OWN intellectual property rather than CREATING it. 
Other than a steady source of income for Warner Bros. the creators of 
Casablanca are NOT creating new intellectual property. In fact, they are 
ALL DEAD!

  "Consumer electronics hardware makers, including computer manufacturers,
   would be required to develop anti-piracy technology to be included in 
their
   products under proposed legislation from Senate Commerce Committee 
Chairman
   Ernest "Fritz" Hollings, D-S.C."

Has the MPAA been funnelling money to this senator?
