Gillmor v. Valenti
Posted by Ernest Miller on Monday, September 30 @ 09:56:37 EDT Copyright
A week ago, Mercury News technology columnist Dan Gillmor gave MPAA President-for-Life Jack Valenti an opportunity to explain Hollywood's positions on copyright (Valenti presents Hollywood's side of the technology story). Valenti's claims of reasonableness were less than reassuring. This week, Gillmor responds to Valenti with a concise exposure of Hollywood's greed grasping (Studios' copyright goal is total control). Favorite quote, referencing the upcoming decision on Eldred (of course):
Valenti's strict reading of the Constitution is laughable, and cynical. If Congress can define "limited'' to mean "eternity minus one second'' then the nation's founders were stupid people. They were not.
