„That could lead to either massive piracy--the Napsterization of Hollywood--or, with the right copy protection, supplant DVDs as Hollywood's richest revenue stream. Better video codecs also open the door to portable video players, much the way MP3 led to iPods and the like.“

„Hollywood can't afford to sue people? We citizens of California have to expend precious tax dollars and limited law enforcement resources on copyright enforcement because Hollywood is too darn cheap? With massive statutory copyright damages available as a remedy, there is no excuse for Hollywood not to prosecute copyright infringers directly.“http://www.corante.com/importance/archives/ 002533.html - Cached

„Since the rise and fall of Napster, everyone seems to have a theory about what to do about piracy on the Internet, but piracy is the smallest of the threats waiting for us in the digital age." So it's not piracy, but dangerous technologies (he gives the example that posting DeCSS is unstoppable by the government, and if someone posted a new Ebola-AIDS genome, it would be just as unstoppable, but far more dangerous) that are threatening. And if there must be surveillance, he believes it should be through a completely open network.“http://journalism.berkeley.edu/projects/biplog/archive/ 2003_03.html - Cached
„I'd like to give a quick soup-to-nuts tour through the second half of a book in progress entitled Pop Song Piracy: Bootleg Song Sheets, Fake Books, and America's First Criminal Copyright Trials. The first half of my book might be called "Napster in the 1930s." It resurrects the forgotten story of bootleg song sheets (initially, newspaper-sized sheets of pop-song lyrics, and then, from the mid-1930s, song-lyric magazines). The bootleg sheets, which emerged in 1929, elicited a hysterical response from the music industry, which fought vigorously against these products for roughly a decade, using every legal ploy available, before discovering, extremely reluctantly and somewhat inadvertently, that assimilation was a much more successful policy than prohibition.“http://docbug.com/blog/archives/ cat_intellectual_property.html#000109 - Cached

„But the media companies want to prevent this type of Fair Use by technological means, they are afraid of the "napsterization of Hollywood" and if Fair Use is eliminated in the process of fighting piracy, they don't care. Commercially released tapes and DVDs are already copy protected to prevent Fair Use, preventing Fair Use applications even by scholars who might use these protected materials in a classroom. Now broadcast TV is on the verge of going digital, new encryption standards will completely copy protect everything on video (except commercials, I bet).“http://ceicher.homeunix.com/archives/ 2002_04.html - Cached
