“Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen told the nation’s broadcasters that efforts to copy protect music, movies or television shows are destined to fail. As film studios and recording studios urge Congress to extend copy protection to every home entertainment device, Andreessen said the entertainment industry needs look no further than the software industry’s own expensive, failed attempts at encryption to realize it is ineffective at stopping piracy.”
Andreesen is quoted in the this SiliconValley.com article as saying, “If a computer can see it, display it and play it — it can copy it.”
