Via Boing Boing.
Brad Hunt, the CTO of the MPAA, got an angry reception from a bunch of Hollywood tech-providers when he presented the MPAA's "A-hole" filtering plan.More here.
For a couple years now, the MPAA has been promising to "plug the Analog Hole" by getting the government to pass a law crippling all recorders, so that they'll refuse to record anything with a secret watermark that says it's a copyrighted work (heaven help you if your son's first steps take place in the living room while the TV's playing -- your camcorder will be of no use).
Hunt gave the talk to a group of high-tech suppliers who provide entertainment technology for Hollywood and its viewers, and they greeted the A-hole proposal with the skepticism it deserves.
