“I say to you that the VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone.”
–Jack Valenti, dead at 85.
[Later: Lessig has a civil commentary on his passing. Make sure to read his entry in the comments as well, and take a moment to ponder on the complexity of human nature.]
I sleep each night a little better, a little more confidently, because Jack Valenti is no longer the head of the MPAA. Granted, he retired several years back.
