CHERNIN ENTERS THE LIONS' DEN
Wednesday, November 20 2002

Taking his battle against Internet piracy into a contentious community, News Corp. President Peter Chernin told the Comdex computer show in Las Vegas Tuesday: "I've come to call for a partnership of content and technology providers in order to create explosive long-term businesses in place of unrewarding theft." Chernin appeared to be calling for the technology community to develop fool-proof systems to prevent the transmission of copyrighted material over the Internet. His remarks came even as a Digital Rights Management Workshop in Washington was examining papers suggesting that virtually any copy-protection system is "doomed to failure."
