Aren’t these some of the same people whining that p2p is a venue for porno? Now they are bitching at the people who are editing movies to make them G rated. Of course you will never see this pointed out on the news.

Intermediate copies of something placed on any private computer can be legislated against, but in the end it is unlikely to be enforceable. To get evidence of this infringement through the courts, a copyright holder would have to first prove through some form of evidence that infringement is likely to have occurred, and then get an order for discovery. The evidence can be scrubbed clean before the courts lay a finger on it, and then when the innocence is obvious due to a lack of any evidence backing the claims of the plaintiff, the resulting counter-suit will bite them squarely in the ass. The only way this would actually work is if the defendant was too stupid to clean the evidence away before handing it over.

These “movie sanitizers” are opening up new markets for DVDs and yet the MPAA STILL wanks on about copyright infringement. I’m pretty sure these MPAA people are not stupid, but it’s pretty difficult to not come to that conclusion based on their actions.
