Jack Valenti - End of an Era

Jack Valenti has been the voice of Hollywood in Washington D.C. for decades. He has announced plans to step down and conducted an interesting interview with News.com. I can only hope that with Valenti's era coming to an end that the world of technology and Hollywood will start a new era of cooperation. Valenti called the VCR a device that would kill Hollywood due to his fears of piracy. The VCR ended up saving Hollywood and transforming the industry. The Motion Picture Association of America needs a new CEO who is visionary when it comes to digital entertainment, and not someone like Valenti who fights for bills like the DMCA.
