Subject: Interesting quote
Noticed this on Phil Karn's web page:
http://people.qualcomm.com/karn/quotes.html
"The growing and dangerous intrusion of this new technology threatens an entire industry's economic vitality and future security. [The new technology] is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston Strangler is to the woman alone
Jack Valenti, President, Motion Picture Association of America, testifying on videocassette recorders before the House Judiciary Committee in 1982."Do
Valenti is now an advocate of DMCA, still using apocalyptic rhetoric. Methinks this quote clearly demonstrates he should not be taken seriously.
