MPAA's "a-hole" issue

Feb 28, 2006 3:35AM PST

Sorry, couldn't resist the ability to have fun with the subject.

Saw this story on boingboing and digg:
It seems that the MPAA is having problems convincing Hollywood that the whole "analog hole" solution is beneficial to the marketplace.

A question that was brought up that is interesting:
"This is a room full of people whose living depends on this working. You're getting pushback to the point of hostility. If you can't sell this to us, how are you going to sell it to the target 16-45 demographic?"
The MPAA guy said that the market would sort itself out.

Yay for somebody standing up to the MPAA!
