Greene joins MPAA

By BroadCasting & Cable Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 5/2/2003 6:42:00 AM

David Greene, principal deputy chief of the Justice Department's computer-crime and intellectual-property section of the Criminal Division, is joining the Motion Picture Association of America as vice president and counsel, technology and new media, effective May 27.

Greene's background in enforcing laws protecting intellectual property will be key as the MPAA fights to protect its intellectual property in an age of easy digital duplication.

The association is already planning to fight a recent California court decision holding that the makers of software for copying and distributing content over the Internet were not liable for the pirating of copyrighted works using their software.
