Just when you thought that the tiny little minds at the MPAA couldn't get smaller, evidence pops up demonstrating that there's no bottom to that hole. From Engadget:

So the Copyright Office is currently in the middle reviewing proposed exceptions to the DMCA, and one of the proposals on the table would allow teachers and students to rip DVDs and edit them for use in the classroom. Open and shut, right? Not if you're the MPAA and gearing up to litigate the legality of ripping -- it's trying to convince the rulemaking committee that videotaping a flatscreen is an acceptable alternative. Seriously. It's hard to say if we've ever seen an organization make a more tone-deaf, flailing argument than this.

I'm not sure the vocabulary even exists to properly describe that...
