Tech Execs Square Off Against The Entertainment Industry

They want the entertainment industry to realize that technology is not the only answer to (or cause of) their problems – and that the tech industry is not going to kill off a great, useful technology just to please the entertainment industry fears about one possible misuse of the technology.
