New VLC and Dapper

Hello

I still run the old dapper and I see that there is a procedure to update my old vlc 86a. here is what i found in the download version
Ubuntu Dapper Drake LTS 6.06

Dapper will be supported until June 2009 by Canonical. However, its VLC version is very old, so use our packages to get the latest version.

You can add our repository this way:

* Be sure to have a universe repository enabled. Type these commands in a terminal:

echo "deb ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/ubuntu dapper universe" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vlc.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-esd mozilla-plugin-vlc libdvdcss2
Great so I try it. but the line 'echo' is returned with a permission denied
bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vlc.list: Permission non accordée
to be precise.

So do I screw up or is there a problem in the procedure. I checked the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vlc.list and relalise that the directory "source.list.d" is empty. I do have the universe enabled

I find VLC a great soft and I'd like to update it.
