Hollywood is still obsessed with breaking the Internet

[Commentary] Hollywood isn't happy with the status quo of the online piracy environment.

New documents purporting to be from the Sony hack show that the Motion Picture Association of America still sees SOPA-style site blocking as a primary goal, a stance that has put them increasingly at odds with Google. Blocking pirate sites is such a focus that the MPAA often rules out more incremental efforts at fighting piracy on the grounds that they would stand in the way of the group's ultimate goal, which is to restrict users from browsing certain web sites. The industry may have lost the fight to make SOPA law, but it’s still aggressively pursuing SOPA’s goals.
