Dan Gillmor interviewed Jack Valenti[1] last week in his column and did the
|
|
impartial thing, representing Valenti's beliefs as fairly as possible. This
|
|
week, Dan takes Valenti's arguments apart, looking at what Hollywood's agenda
|
|
really entails:
|
|
|
|
So the movie and music companies are going back to Congress for another
|
|
helping. They are asking for laws that would force technology innovators to
|
|
restrict the capabilities of devices -- cripple PCs and other machines that
|
|
communicate so they can't make copies the copyright holders don't
|
|
explicitly allow. Amazingly, the entertainment industry also wants
|
|
permission to hack into networks and machines they believe are being used
|
|
to violate copyrights.
|
|
|
|
Here is what it all means. To protect a business model and thwart even the
|
|
possibility of infringement, the cartel wants technology companies to ask
|
|
permission before they can innovate. The media giants want to keep
|
|
information flow centralized, to control the new medium as if it's nothing
|
|
but a jazzed-up television. Instead of accepting, as they do today, that a
|
|
certain amount of penny-ante infringement will occur and then going after
|
|
the major-league pirates, they call every act of infringement -- and some
|
|
things that aren't infringement at all -- an act of piracy or stealing.
|
|
Saying it doesn't make it so.
