Linda Kinney from MPAA spoke on copyright theft and the policy challenges it has posed.  There are over 80,000 Google  results  when one searches for “free movie download.”  Kinney showed case studies of countries such as South Korea, whose broadband use has increased almost 100%.   Copyright infringement affects the film industry and its 2.4 million jobs in the US.  The film industry includes not just actors but also florists, make-up artists, caterers, and drivers.  In the EU, 14 million workers make up the film industry, which is 6.5% of the workforce.  In terms of enforcement, the MPAA has found that policies should be country-specific.  Countries will need to educate the population and use appropriate enforcement that respects privacy.
