Its nice to notice they are admitting their faults rather than continuing to blame others and look moronic like they normally do.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2031751,00.aspon Thursday at the Digital Home Developers Conference that Brad Hunt, the executive vice president and chief technology officer for the MPAA, spent the majority of his time outlining some of the ways the MPAA is working to standardize content protection controls in the age of digital home networking. But he also acknowledged that piracy is the consumer's answer to the content industry's inability to provide a simple digital-rights-management solution.
"I think it is really important to realize that virtually all of the major [movie] studios earn most of their income from content enjoyed in the home," he said. "In 2005, theater revenue made up only 15.7 percent of total studio profits, while home video entertainment was around 47.1 percent."
I'm glad he admits the consumer is allowed to take matters into their own hands when DRM Trojans are slipped onto material that was purchased to view or listen to and the DRM Trojan makes this impossible on the consumers equipment.
Trying to force users to pay for multiple copies of the same media with different DRM on it is not only a breach of their fair use rights its a thieving rip-off that the industry has dragged its feet over while they profit from the situation, that's the reality.
