Report Raises Questions About Fighting Online Piracy

The Committee for Economic Development (CED),
http://www.ced.org/

a Washington policy group, has released a report entitled
"Promoting Innovation and Economic Growth: The Special Problem of Digital
Intellectual Property,"
http://www.ced.org/docs/report/report_dcc.pdf [full report]

arguing that legislative efforts against copyright infringement by music,
movie, and television studios may harm the economy and upset the balance
between the rights of content providers and the rights of the public. The
report recognizes the need for some form of copy-protection and/or new
business models to enable copyright holders to profit. The report calls for
a two-year moratorium on changing copyright law to allow for greater public
debate and recommends the use of digital rights management (DRM) technology
so long as they are not required by government or create a burden to
consumers. The report also recommends tools to let copyright holders put
their work in the public domain sooner than the law allows. For technical
reasons, the report is not an official policy statement of the CED, but the
group recommends the report as an excellent analysis.
