MPAA Shows How Teachers Should Record Movies

As you probably know, every three years, the Librarian of Congress gets to review requests for special "exemptions" to the DMCA.

Kevin alerts us to some video of a recent hearing, where the MPAA actually (you have to see it to believe it) demonstrates how to use a camcorder to videotape a movie off a TV.

Why would the MPAA show this? Because it wants to remove the (very narrow) exemptions that were granted in 2006 to media professors who wanted to copy clips of movies from DVDs for the purpose of education.
