Sounds fairly enlightened, so I'm surprised you mentioned it.

It's worth noting that one of the panelists was documentary director Kirby Dick, who made a film about the MPAA ratings board. The MPAA later admitted to making infringing copies of Dick's documentary...and they didn't even bother to try and justify it as fair use.
