At this point, does it even matter? This lobby still has the backing of the entertainment industry, and it doesn't matter if it's stolen IP, trying to create an exemption for installing rootkits on remote machines is the entertainment industry's dream.
Here are the members of The Commission of the Theft of American Intellectual Property, the commission that authored the paper:
Dennis C. Blair (co-chair), former Director of National Intelligence and Commander in Chief of the U.S. Pacific Command • Jon M. Huntsman, Jr. (co-chair), former Ambassador to China, Governor of the state of Utah, and Deputy U.S. Trade Representative
• Craig R. Barrett, former Chairman and CEO of Intel Corporation
• Slade Gorton, former U.S. Senator from the state of Washington, Washington Attorney General, and member of the 9-11 Commission
• William J. Lynn III, CEO of DRS Technologies and former Deputy Secretary of Defense
• Deborah Wince-Smith, President and CEO of the Council on Competitiveness
• Michael K. Young, President of the University of Washington and former Deputy Under Secretary of State
Which of those is from the MPAA?
