Congress hears DMCA testimony | The Register
Topic: Miscellaneous 2:03 pm EDT, May 18, 2004

] Cary Sherman, president of the RIAA said that HR 107
] would allow the sale of hacking tools that would bust
] through the Digital Rights Management of iTunes and other
] services if the hacker is using the copies for
] "non-infringing purposes."
]
] His view was that there is no way to assure that any tool
] is only used for non-infringing purposes and that the
] only way to make this possible was to impose a tech
] mandate for copy controls, which HR 107 does not contain.
] And he went on to say that it is impossible to create a
] technology that will permit "fair uses" while prohibiting
] other uses.

How disconnected from reality is the RIAA? Its seems if something *could* be used in an unlawful way, we must control and/or restrict it.
