  • At this point, I think the content companies look at the DMCA anti-circumvention provision mainly as a shield against disruptive technologies -- the talk about preventing piracy is largely a smokescreen. Any consumer savvy enough to use Google and install a little software can circument DVD copy protection, DMCA or no DMCA. But the DMCA ensures that any company who wants to develop a DVD jukebox or DVD-capable PVR and sell it at Best Buy must obtain the blessing of the MPAA membership first.
