Motion Picture Association of America head Dan Glickman has told a Digital Rights Management Conference sponsored by LexisNexis and Variety that the MPAA is keen to allow legal copies of movies to be copied if they are adequately protected by DRM. Here is the Variety piece, but Zero Paid has a post that focuses more on mobile.
Glickmand noted “the MPAA’s commitment to even the smallest of screens, that it wishes to make increasing amounts of content available for mobile distribution through services like MobiTV and Verizon Vcast”, and said that the organization supports “allowing consumers to make authorized copies of the content they purchase...Consumers should be able to enjoy authorized DVD content on their home networks…on portable devices…at their convenience”. This requires a universal (or at least, inter-compatible) DRM system, which is going to be difficult to get going.
