Historically, there were many media. With the advent of TV, peoples said that radio would disappear. Likewise, as the spread of the Internet will increase, anyone worried that newspaper will lose its function and role. However, the radio is still our side, preventing the car driver from being bored. Rather, today's radio broadcast is interacting with listener over the Internet. Newspaper also transmitted more quickly the news and information to people through the Internet. Thus, many media are going well adapted.
Now, no one can stop people from sharing music, video and other information over the Internet. If anyone or any governments try to stop it, internet users will share them through other ways and means. Even before the dissemination of Internet, people were always trying to exchange information regardless of illegality. Today’s difference is that such exchange of information is only conducted faster and more extensively on the Internet. Internet has been associated with all of people’s lives. The internet is decentralized, networked series of computers through which people can communicate with one another. In particular, a website which hosted so that the site is accessible to Internet users has a ubiquitous electronic presence, viewable anywhere and at any time. A lot of business activity is performed by Internet such as web promotion, electronic payment, and subscription.
I think that DMCA’s safe harbor provision will be considered the role and function of such Internet. If so, the owners of copyright such as movie work and music work also have to adapt to the Internet age. To protect own copyright work from distributing and copying, they have to pull personnel to monitor illegal activities and shall pay the more cost to crack down on illegal activities on Internet. Is this for copyright holder how to adapt Internet age?
