RE: [dvd-discuss] Music biz wants tougher DMCA, CPRM 2 to protect copyright

The "of course" was not obvious to me.  But fortunately
The Register has posted their own account.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/31/22138.html
Basically, they admit to posting an unsubstantiated
story before even minimal fact checking.  (The "of course"
that Declan mentions may have to do w/ the fact that some
of the alleged attendees are no longer with the companies
they were said to be representing ...)
