Creators Must Move Beyond Suing the Audience
From the Electronic Frontier Foundation: Creators Must Move Beyond Suing the Audience
This commentary from the EFF explains what content providers are up against, and how the lawyers are the only ones profiting from the virtual blackmail in the proffered “settlements.” From the article: “This much should be abundantly clear by now: creators must move beyond suing the audience. File-sharers are characterized as shallow thieves, when in reality they’re just fans who are using one of the most efficient technologies for distribution ever invented to explore creative works in the most convenient way possible. The majority of these fans would like to live in a world where there’s an efficient, effective, modern framework for compensating the creators. That framework will be built through innovation and experimentation — not litigation.”
