I find his statement nothing more than a bunch of PR Shim-Sham BS.

1. The MPAA was one of the driving forces behind the "Copyright Protection Act" that basically makes it illegal to take advantage of Fair Use on DVD's, as they can't be copied without circumventing copyright protections.

2. The MPAA drove DVDxCopy out of business for specifically allowing consumers this fair use right.

They can talk all day long about how they are open to fair use, but their actions speak louder than words. Most likely they are attempting damage control so congress doesn't repeal or change the DMCA.
