JD Lasica continues his excerpts from Darknet: Hollywood's War Against the Digital Generation with a piece from Chapter 7 in which an executive from Intel attempts to educate a number of clueless Washington types about the difficulties with DRM (Story: The Tech Exec Who Broke Federal Law (and Why the Law is Broken)). The best part is when the exec shows a homemade video clip, that could only be made by breaking the law:

Whiteside explained how the homemade DVD came to be. His nine-year-old son Timmy played on a Pop Warner team called the Typhoons, and Whiteside spent the better part of a football season capturing images of the action with his digital camcorder. At long last Whiteside culled together the highlights, imported them into his PC, and began creating his digital masterpiece.

“I used a program to copy a few seconds from the DVD of the movie Rudy,” he said. “It’s the scene showing the final game of the Notre Dame season with Rudy’s family in the stands cheering wildly when he got to play. I then spliced in some snippets of pro players doing a touchdown dance from NFL Films, and I overlaid it with audio from ‘Who Let the Dogs Out?’

"I stitched this all together with video of my son, and it turned out to be the piece of home video that gets watched the most in our house. When relatives or members of the football team come over, we pop it in and we just laugh. The added scenes and music really bring it all to life.”
