Disney Blames Apple for Piracy

Posted 07 March 2002 - 01:30 PM

Came across this on MacCentral the other night. The article is based on Disney President/CEO Micheal Eisner's comments in front of the Senate Commerce Committee. He singled out Apple's "Rip, Mix, Burn" ad campaign by saying of potential Mac buyers "that they can create a theft if they buy this computer."

The MacCentral article is based on one that ran in The Hollywood Reporter titled Mouse grouse: Dis boss lays into computer biz, which you have to be a subscriber to read. :mad:

Bwhaahah, that's the stupidest thing I have ever read.  Seriously,  that's like saying that all car drivers should get a speeding ticket as soon as they buy a car.

If your Riping, Mixing, Then Burning, would you there for not be taking a song you own off a CD and putting it on another one?  Would that not be the 1 legal way to do it?

This guy needs that Sloth STFU graphic.
