Could this be a beginning to the end of music

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Rep. John Doolittle has been a strong supporter of DMCA reform after buying an iPod and actually understanding how digital music works. "I didn't grasp the issues before us in 1998," says Doolittle, who alongside Rep. Rick Boucher is pushing for "fair use" reform. "We went way overboard. This needs to be corrected," says Doolittle, who held his iPod aloft this week during hearings to make a point about fair use.
MPAA president Jack Valenti opposes the Boucher/Doolittle amendment to the DMCA, complaining that it "legalizes the hacking of copy-protection measures."
