Stephen "Shrink" White: As more and more pressure is coming from the RIAA and MPAA to build anti-piracy protection into software and the TCPA’s move towards hardwiring this protection into computers, what can we expect from ATI when it comes to ongoing attempts to protect digital media rights? How is ATI balancing the rights of the producers of this media with those of the consumers who want to insure fair use of the products they purchase?
Stephen Orr: ATI makes money by delivering products that people want to use. At the same time we must, as an international corporation deliver products that comply with all regulatory laws whether that is FCC emissions requirements, or DMCA laws. Currently ATI’s video software is designed to work only with content that can be recorded by a VCR. We do not record protected content, nor do we protect the content we record. In the future, if we choose to deliver a product that works with protected content, we will, of course, protect it. We have people in various areas of ATI monitoring the directions the industry is moving as well as working in various industry associations to make content generally more accessible as that is better business for ATI.
