[ NNSquad ] Copyright Infringement and Enforcement in the U.S. (Research Note) 

Copyright Infringement and Enforcement in the US (Research Note)

http://j.mp/A1SIHp  (Columbia University / SSRC [PDF])

   "The U.S. House of Representatives is currently debating the Stop
    Online Piracy Act (SOPA)-the counterpart to the Senate's PROTECT IP
    Act. If passed, the bill will expand criminal penalties for copyright
    infringement and give the government (and private parties) new powers
    to block access to websites accused of facilitating infringement.  The
    bill is the latest in a series of efforts to strengthen copyright
    enforcement online. Search engines, social networking platforms, cloud
    storage providers, universities, and other institutions are all under
    pressure to monitor and filter Internet activity. Earlier this year,
    Internet Service Providers and the film and record industries reached
    an agreement to expand the private policing of online infringement.
    This research note is an effort to bring American public opinion to
    bear on this vital conversation. The note excerpts a forthcoming
    survey-based study called Copy Culture in the U.S. and Germany.
    Drawing on results from the U.S. portion of the survey, it explores
    what Americans do with digital media, what they want to do, and how
    they reconcile their attitudes and values with different policies and
    proposals to enforce copyright online. The Copy Culture survey was
    sponsored by The American Assembly, with support from a research award
    from Google. The content of the survey and its findings are solely the
    responsibility of the researchers."
