The MPAA and other major rights holders are against it because 1) it would mean that the long-established practice of only ever increasing the scope and duration of copyright had ended; now there would be at least one small step toward reducing the scope of copyright, and; 2) it would mean that there would be a legitimate use for a variety of DRM circumventing tools, legitimacy for at least some producers of such tools, etc.Basically, if the very least iota of lost control means fucking the blind, they'll fuck the blind. It's absolutely appalling but not really surprising.
