The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), which represents major film studies, argues that software made by 321 Studios would allow movie pirates to make and distribute high-quality copies of digital films, thereby infringing upon copyrights and causing monetary damage to the movie industry. 321 Studios claims that its technology would simply allow users to make copies of movies for their own personal 'fair use'.
