I know that method has been recommended by at least one MPAA
representative, but I'm not sure if it's official policy or not.

In any case, I don't see how it matters what the MPAA thinks in this
case, since the MPAA itself is not the copyright holder for much.
Using the analog hole could be viewed as circumventing access controls
and the fact that the MPAA suggested this will not prevent the
copyright holder for the work in question from filing a suit.
