    Apparently, the filmmaker expressly forbid the RIAA from making copies. The RIAA retorted that they were not breaking any copyright laws, since the copies they made were for "their internal use only". To the MPAA, I pose this question: if it is fair and legal to make copies of protected materials for private usage, why are you forcefully lobbying for the broadcast flag?
