> calls for internet platforms to better police and accept liability
Hollywood has for years been quite transparent that this is a high-priority objective and long-term campaign for them. Establishing "rules of the road" for the "wild west" internet, a thing of "little good" and free-loading "entitled" users, where most traffic is video downloading. It's one advantage of group-think ("no-one honestly disagrees with our position" so why not describe the obviously fair and uncorrupted right thing). It's only the tactics, the lobbying to establish precedents, the press story placement, the taking far-too-respected tech "down a notch", that is less discussed. So the superficiality of press coverage, of competing visions of what the internet is and should become, has long struck me as odd.
