In this clip from a 2007 American Bar Association Forum titled “Legal and Business Issues in the New Internet World of User Generated Content & Social Networking,” the panelists discuss whether filtering of internet content is a workable answer to the current problems the entertainment industry faces from piracy and other forms of illegal content sharing, and whether a new set of usage rights could be created to acknowledge how the online world actually works. They also debate whether the whole idea of “copyright control” has been invalidated by the realities of easy it is to copy, use, and make derivative works from content that exists online.
