Good article on disintermediation (video over IP changing traditional broadcast models)): "Hollywood believes large-scale broadband video distribution would only destroy proven value, fail to provide alternative value, and alter a business model that is still far from being in decline. With near-total control of the most valuable program libraries and the business models governing their distribution, a shift towards broadband media will come largely on Hollywood’s terms and at an incremental pace."

The MPAA takes advantage of a clause in the DCMA that holds ISP's responsible for copyright infringements by their customers, forcing ISP's to suspend customer accounts before any proof is given. Just one more reason why we need to re-eveluate the merits of the DCMA.
