You and he seem to be missing the point, though, Adam. The quote about black and white movies mentions nothing of artists' rights. The entire quote is talking solely about viewers' rights. The quote doesn't say, "I want these films to be preserved the way the artist wanted them to be." He says that he wants them preserved the way he as a viewer saw them, and he wants his children, also viewers, to be able to see them the way he as a viewer saw them.

And that's all the we want. So hypocrisy.
