Hahaha now that was funny, but sadly makes me want to never buy a DVD or 
goto a movie again, if that is the fool running the MPAA.  My favorite 
quotes:

"Now, fair use is not in the law. People are taking fair use and changing 
it to unfair use and claiming that it?s fair use."

Uhhh hello?  Section 107 of the US copyright law? 

http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107

"When you go to your department store and you buy 10 Cognac glasses and 
two weeks later you break two of them, the store doesnt give you two 
backup copies. Where did this backup copy thing come from? A digital thing 
lasts forever. "

Uhh "backup copy thing"?  Review Universal Studios vs Sony (1984) (AKA 
the Betamax case).
