Hey Hollywood, forget SOPA, ACTA and TPP. Embrace Netflix Instead

So what should Hollywood do to fight piracy? One easy fix would be to license more content to Netflix and its competitors, and put up fewer restrictions on accessing this type of content. However, in the U.S., the industry is actually moving into the opposite direction: Last fall, Fox began delaying access to its TV shows on Fox.com and Hulu.com for people who can’t authenticate themselves as subscribers of affiliated pay TV providers or Hulu Plus. It’s too early to tell whether the industry’s love affair with TV Everywhere is driving viewers back to piracy – but on a global level, the message seems clear: Instead of forcing countries to adopt ever stricter copyright laws, Hollywood would be well-advised to help services like Netflix and Hulu with their international expansion.
