The Economist on Movie Piracy
The Economist has a decent piece about movie piracy. It’s got some good balance, discussing problems in the MPAA’s approach. It points out how Movielink is “clunky” and notes that consumers and electronics companies hate DRM. Interestingly, it doesn’t discuss legislative actions taken by the MPAA – that would have made this a far more complete copyright piece, the sort of thing I’ve come to expect from this mag.
(Also, doesn’t it annoy you that articles like this always ignore how the MPAA represents TV, too?)
