We've got to do a better job of segregating those commodities to make sure that ... we basically protect people from things that haven't been approved, ... The FDA is monitoring the situation very closely, very carefully. I don't think there is any public health and safety issue here, but the fact is the product has not been approved for human consumption. It should not be served.
But ultimately, I'm not sure what impact it will have. I don't think people will want to watch a 1 1/2- or two-hour movie on something the size of their hand, but it could have value to advertise and promote movies. We're generally encouraging online movies, and there are all sorts of ways of working against piracy, ... the biggest threat to our industry.
We screened that movie before members of Congress. Hopefully, the screening of the movie had some kind of an effect on the process.
Drought and other natural disasters continue to plague many of America's farmers, ... USDA is working to provide needed assistance and emergency loans for farmers during these tough times.
Farm income will rise because of the increased demand for corn, ... Rural incomes will rise as farm income increases and new jobs will be created by new ethanol plants.
Quite frankly, most members of both political parties agree that (the farm bill) is going to have to be rewritten, or rewritten in a very dramatic way. But, in the meantime ... we are going to try and provide these farmers and ranchers with assistance to help them make it through this terrible crisis,
The Supreme Court in its ruling sent a strong and clear message that businesses based on theft should not and will not be allowed to flourish, ... The clarity of the court's decision combined with this settlement provides the content and technology sectors a window of opportunity which I think ultimately will greatly benefit consumers.
Russian films, together with American films, incur losses.
Concern over the war in Iraq and weakness in the job market has caught up with President Bush,
Digital File Check is easy to use and can help people prevent their employees, children and others from illegally downloading and swapping movies.
Corn, soy beans, wheat, cattle, things are generally pretty weak all over the place.
We have to keep this in historical perspective. Obviously, we want to do better. But the movie business is still pretty healthy.
We hope the Supreme Court's unanimous ruling and an aggressive education effort will dissuade companies and individuals from engaging in these types of unlawful activities in the future. But when necessary, we will pursue all avenues ? including legal means ? to protect our product from theft.
We live in interesting times. It's important how we respond in 2006 to these challenges. We are in state of ongoing change. The power of stories remain the key to our success. The play is the thing.
