Dan Glickman, Anti-Pirate

Dan Glickman used to be a Congressman and Secretary of Agriculture. Now he’s fronting for the Motion Picture Association of America. “The overlying issue is piracy and how we fight it,” Mr. Glickman said, a day after announcing plans to sue people who illegally download movies off the Internet, a provocative way to begin his stewardship. “I still believe lawsuits are only one part of the strategy. Education and awareness and embracing new technologies is part of it. It’s important that we be seen embracing technology.”
