Users are also adjusting to a world in which there is vastly more media, not less, competing for limited attention and money. In our view, arguing about whether copying a song is like stealing a car is academic. In practice, few people consider them the same. Want some good news? Of the 30 percent of Americans who have copied or downloaded digital-music files free of charge, 46 percent said they now do so less often because of the emergence of streaming music services. And this was before last year's launch of Spotify Ltd. in the U.S., which signed up 250,000 paid subscribers in its first six weeks. Among video downloaders, the comparable figure -- the "Netflix effect" -- is 40 percent. In other words, there is a way to reduce piracy without breaking the Internet or sacrificing civil liberties. It's called business innovation. To be fair, many in the entertainment industry say this is too facile an answer. They want to know whether the new models will be as profitable as the old ones. And fundamentally we can't know. But we should accept that the answer may be no. Studios have made a lot of money off the DVD boom, but there was a movie business before the DVD, and there will be one after. Markets provide no guarantees, and neither should Congress. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and its Senate counterpart, the Protect IP Act or PIPA, would allow the US government to seek a court order and even shut down websites that contain content or links "committing or facilitating online piracy." Moreover, advertisers and Internet service providers would be banned from doing business with violators. However, payment and advertising networks, search engines or service providers that take voluntary action to redress detected violations - by terminating businesses with transgressor sites or comply with the law - will be granted immunity from liability charges. On Sept. 22, 2011, more than 350 trade associations, professional and labor organizations, and businesses signed a letter urging Congress to enact legislation to stop "rogue sites" from copyright infringement. In response to Wednesday's anti-SOPA blackouts on Wikipedia and other sites, Chris Dodd, the chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), released a statement calling the blackouts a "gimmick" and "an irresponsible response and a disservice to people who rely on them for information and use their services." The former senator, who was appointed to lead the Association in March 2011, criticized the blackout sites' action as punishment for elected officials who strive to protect American jobs from "foreign criminals". "Only days after the White House and chief sponsors of the legislation responded to the major concern expressed by opponents and then called for all parties to work cooperatively together, some technology business interests are resorting to stunts that punish their users or turn them into their corporate pawns, rather than coming to the table to find solutions to a problem that all now seem to agree is very real and damaging," Dodd said. MPAA, which includes the Paramount Pictures Corporation, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, Warner Bros., and Sony Pictures Entertainment, says that it works to safeguard the interests of the American motion picture, home video and television industries around the globe. In a move that heightens the growing tension between Silicon Valley and Hollywood, Wikipedia and other websites went dark Wednesday in protest of two congressional proposals intended to thwart the online piracy of copyrighted movies and TV programs. The web-based encyclopedia is part of a loose coalition of dot-coms and large technology companies that fear Congress is prepared to side with Hollywood and enact extreme measures - possibly including the blocking of entire websites- to stop the online sharing and unauthorized use of Hollywood productions. The fight will test which California-based industry has the most sway in Washington. For now, Silicon Valley appears to have the upper hand. Supporters of the legislation - called the Stop Online Piracy Act in the House and the Protect Intellectual Property Act in the Senate - say the bills are aimed at protecting jobs in the movie and music industries. But a campaign including tech heavyweights such as Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. has successfully portrayed the bills as an attack on a free and open Internet.
