The word "copyright" is, to most Americans, quite irrelevant to their daily lives. But the truth is it is the most relevant because it’s the source-bed from which springs America’s greatest trade export and this nation’s grandest economic asset.
The Copyright Industries are creating jobs at three times the rate of the rest of the American economy. They gather in more international revenues than aircraft, agriculture or automobiles. They have a surplus balance of trade with every country in the world at a time when the remainder of the U. S. economy is bleeding from trade deficits.
But at this moment, there are some unquiet anxieties which challenge that future. As we move into the cyber world, there is being bred on the Internet a kind of belief that says, "Hey, if it’s on the Internet, it’s free to take down. " That’s what happened to the music industry. Hundreds of thousands of music albums and singles have been taken down each day to fill the hard drives of countless computers, all without permission of the artist or labels. And all free of charge. No wonder some music web sites were avalanched(使无法应付). When you give away precious creative material free of charge, "they will come. "
The ton of concrete that fell on the head of the music industry can also befall movies. Right now, a Boston-based consulting firm estimates that over 300, 000 movies are being downloaded every day illegitimately, without payment or permission. Americans use creative works without permission or payment, the new assumed normality of Internet behavior.
This represents a complex, confounding challenge that could seriously undo a unique American economic and creative prize. It puts to hazard the future of the entire community of Copyright Industries.
How to treat all of this?
First, a number of the major U. S. film studios intend to go online before the end of the year, offering films at a fair and reasonable price. Second, the film studios, conferring with the smartest technology experts in cyberspace, intent to "content encode" their films as well as using watermarking and digital management procedures, all aimed at distributing movies to homes in as safe and secure an environment as technology can make it.
But it doesn’t make it right. What the film studios see as an efficient delivery system warmly received by American families is a prediction that can come true—if the Congress holds film in the conviction that creative property is private property and cannot be casually stolen. That is why moviemakers believe that magical technology which allows "free downloads" can also be the salvation for the protection of creative works aimed at satisfying the visual choices of Americans. [br] Copyright is closely related to Americans’ daily life because______.
