unfinished work: I Believe In The Internet - The Content Industry Doesn't

bradburnham:

I am sympathetic to the content industries struggles with piracy, but my belief system tells me the answer is to capitalize on the great strengths of the Internet to create a healthy and profitable relationship with their users not to sue them. No matter how strongly I believe that, however, I do not think I have the right to tell them how to run their business. Apparently, they do not feel the same way about our businesses. The current legislation in Congress does not just create an administrative burden, it requires service providers who have built wonderful businesses on a deep conviction about human nature to change their relationship with their users in a way that subverts their core values. 

Great post from Brad about the core values behind the internet industry vs the content industry, as they relate to the SOPA and PIPA legislation.
