you are correct, sir. But of course, if the sundance case sticks, then the whole secondary producer thing is out the window anyway, making this a moot discussion.. ie: boneprone will be able to use that content w/o having to hold records
so either way, that content should end up useable.. just a matter of when it would actually get compliant for the secondary, or when the notion of "secondary producer" goes kaput

Did you read the rest. This would only really protect redlight and those producers that are not giving out docs to their DVDs. The DOJ could check redlight for instance to make sure they are indeed compliant, then bust ever other person using redlight content. The DOJ would have ZERO reason to charge redlight in this instance because it very well could mean the upholding of the sundance case.
Prosecutors do this very often. Why take a case against a company with deep legal pockets, where the downside is not only loosing but having the very law changed. When they can take on a super number of smaller cases that are damn near slam dunks. Often with people who have PD's as their lawyers. Sure they public defender may bring up sundance but chances are they will still loose just setting more and more presidences.
