Valenti's mob will try to use trademarks and patents to prevent licensing 
of open communication systems connected to entertainment HW.  Except for 
burnings at the stake the script is pretty much following the Catholic 
Church vs. The Press.  The end result will likely be similar: a new balance 
of power and liberties will be struck, probably with the consumer coming up 
on top.
