I saw this article on MSNBC that has Jack showing the Senate Judiciary committee a priated copy of Gladiator in a hearing. He said that someone from the MPAA supposedly downloaded this off the internet and said something to the effect that no one would ever go to the movies again if this if stuff off the internet would be this good in the future. Senator Orrin Hatch agreed wholeheartedly that Valenti made a better point than anyone on the issue so far. Jack was calling for the usual controls on HDTV and copying and of course mentioned how bad pirates are.
While I am certainly not a pirate, I darn sure want to keep my rights to record somehting one day when all we have is HDTV. I am afraid that there are just so many different technologies out there that threaten to deprive us of our rights we just can't keep up anymore. We need to let congress know our position.
