MPAA – RIAA: You Have No Right To Perpetual Access
Straight from the mouths of lawyers, we now have more proof that the RIAA / MPAA are simply a bag of dicks. I like the part where this guy says we are all stupid for expecting to be able to use something for as long as we own it. Then again, maybe he has a point, we don’t really own the songs and movies we buy…now do we?
"We reject the view," he writes in a letter to the top legal advisor at the Copyright Office, "that copyright owners and their licensees are required to provide consumers with perpetual access to creative works. No other product or service providers are held to such lofty standards. No one expects computers or other electronics devices to work properly in perpetuity, and there is no reason that any particular mode of distributing copyrighted works should be required to do so."
