He's just showing his true agenda

"What needs to happen is we all sit down
together in good-faith negotiations and come to some
conclusions on how we can construct a broadcast flag (for
keeping digital TV content off the Internet), "

<put the CONTROL into the privacy of your home and prevent anyone from 
telling you...cut trace here. Solder jumper THERE>

"on how we
plug the analog hole (allowing people to record digital
content off older televisions and other devices), and how
 we deal with the persistent and devilish problem of
peer-to-peer."

<Stop all recording. Read KILL VCRs KILL FAIR USE! THe fair use doctrine 
exists outside the media. >

Jack Valenti's got a Q&A article up on zdnet.

Looks like file swappers are going to make the movie industry bankrupt.
(again).   Probably just like when the VCR's killed the movie industry.

I sometimes wish he really would go bankrupt so we wouldn't have to listen
to him anymore.  Jack is even willing to stoop to the level of comparing
copyright infringment to terrorism!

He's been so wrong in the past, why do people still listen to him?
Granted, everyone makes mistakes, but this is a perfect parallel to the
VCRs of the 80's!  It's the same situation!  The fact that the movie
industry still make money proves that he's wrong already!  Peer to peer
technology, combined with compression technology makes movie swapping a
reality now.

It's really too bad they're going out of business! I was hoping to see the
Two Towers in the theater this December!
