章節(jié)摘錄

　　"Twilight" from his site after a reporter pointed it out to him recently. "I think about getting suedevery day. If that happens it will definitely take us out of business," he said.　　Mr. Mir has reason for concern. In December, the Motion Picture Association sued threeWeb sites that it said were facilitating copyright infringement by identifying and indexing links topirated material around the Web.　　John Malcolm, the associations director of worldwide antipiracy operations, said thatalthough the group does not sue individuals for watching pirated videos, other lawsuits against Websites are forthcoming, and he acknowledged that the challenge is stiff.　　"There are a lot of very technologically sophisticated people out there who are very good atthis and very good at hiding," Mr. Malcolm said. "We have limited resources to bring to the fight."　　With so much pirated material online,　Hollywood is turning to technological solutions.Perhaps most important, media companies are learning from the music industrys mistakes andtrying to avert broader adoption of piracy techniques. The No. 1 lesson: provide the video on theplatform that users want it.　　Mark Ishikawa, BayTSPs founder and chief executive, sees a correlation between theavailability of content through traditional legal channels and their popularity on pirate networks.　　"When DVD releases are postponed, demand always goes up, because people dont have anauthorized channel to buy," he said.　　Partly in response to the piracy problem, a cormucopia of video Web sites now feature thelatest episodes of virtually every broadcast TV show. Movie studios are experimenting withvideo-on-demand releases and other ways to offer films on demand. Legal alternatives, the companieshope, will stifle the stealing. The music industry, by comparison, waited years to provide legaloptions for online listeners.
