The movie industry's top lobbyist said Wednesday that existing copyright law has served the industry well, but new legislation may be necessary to protect against digital piracy
We may have to have some legislation to make sure the technology finds its roots,'' said Valenti, who spoke at a luncheon hosted by the Media Institute, a nonprofit free speech group. |
Valenti said any encryption technology the industry adopts would likely allow consumer to make only one digital copy of a movie they purchase.
Why on earth would you need more than one copy? Everything you want to copy you'll be able to copy one time,'' he said.
Critics have charged that anti-piracy laws and encryption technologies are really a broader attempt by industry to control how consumers use their products, a violation of existing ``fair use'' clauses in copyright law.
Who need more then one copy ? Well we know some people
