The Detroit News publishes an AP wirestory on the submissions for the Library of Congress' DMCA exemption rulemaking (Rights of consumers, educators in question under digital copyright law). The article features Eric Olsen of Blogcritics and his request for an exemption to the Content Scrambling System on DVDs. The MPAA does not agree with the need:
Fritz Attaway, executive vice president of the Motion Picture Association of America, said nothing stops Olsen from including clips -- if he's willing to accept a degradation in quality.
"All you have to do is take a video camera and take a screen shot of it," Attaway said.
Attaway, apparently, is unaware of the definition of quotation ... he seems to think it means "paraphrase."
