He fought new technologies and innovation and ruined grandmothers with lawsuits. All for the rich and powerful.

He sucked.

But Satan not criticizing his own lieutenant? Is this supposed to be surprising?

these are the words that Valenti will be remembered for:

Quote:
He famously told a congressional panel in 1982, "I say to you that the VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone."

Hollywood will continue to suck with or without Valenti.
