"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

The bill has been getting lots of attention this week with business and entertainment industries taking up arms against freedom of information advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case you missed the discussion and want to bone up before tonight’s cocktail party, listen to this \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/12/29/144417831/godaddys-suport-for-sopa-draws-customers-ire\">recent interview on NPR\u003c/a>. But if you really want to sound smart, read through these highlights from \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201201030900\">Forum\u003c/a> with guest host Joshua Johnson and guests Rick Cotton of NBC Universal, Fred von Lohmann of Google and independent filmmaker Ellen Seidler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people who feel that Internet piracy is one of those things that only affect big companies and rich people, tell us how you think it affects the average person?\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rick Cotton of NBC Universal\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have to take a step back and look at what our jobs and our economy are based on. The US does not aspire to be a low-cost manufacturing economy. We aspire to have high-wage jobs, to have industries that add a high amount of value. Only if we sustain those sectors of our economy can we hope to compete globally and get our economy back on a path toward growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This bill addresses not only the theft of digital content, which can extend from books and software to TV, films, and electronic games, etc., but it addresses the rampant sale of counterfeit physical goods from foreign websites, which undercuts many of the high- growth sectors of the US economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what’s at stake here is really the long-term health of the US economy. If we don’t ensure that the economic benefits of our innovation and our technical invention and our creativity create jobs here, and allow them to be stolen by criminals operating sites in foreign countries, we are truly risking our future, our children’s jobs, and our economic health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NBC Universal, Viacom, Disney, News Corp are companies that deal in billions of dollars in content and that are extremely lucrative and valuable. Talk about what the landscape might look like for companies if these two bills had already been in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rick Cotton of NBC Universal\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I want to stress the fact that it also extends to companies like Pfizer, pharmaceutical companies, small companies that depend on innovative machine tools that drive much of the job growth in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other framework to consider is truly the rule of law on the Internet. If these laws had been in effect, one could imagine the evolution of the Internet over the past decade or so would have been a recognition by the user community that lawlessness and theft — trafficking in stolen digital goods and content — is as unacceptable in the digital world as it is in the physical world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we’ve allowed to develop is the notion that somehow the Internet is a zone where anything goes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turning to Fred von Lohmann of Google, it seems like your concern is that in the effort to catch these pirates, it may also end up doing damage downstream in the channels that pirates do business in, but also that people like me use to live our digital lives…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fred von Lohmann\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s right. Google has always been a staunch opponent of online piracy. But it’s incredibly important to emphasize what a small proportion of the Internet experience relates to these issues. These are important issues –- no question we need to do things to stop this activity. We support measures that would try to address these issues, particularly with foreign pirate sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the issue here is that when government acts, you have to be careful about unintended consequences. We don’t want a bill passing into law in America that sends a message to other countries that Internet censorship is a good way to handle your domestic legal issues. That’s a direction that countries like Iran, China, Pakistan have already gone down. We don’t think it’s appropriate for the US to follow in that line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So you’ve used the C word, which nobody likes to use in relation to US policy. What about SOPA and PIPA do you consider to be a censoring of the internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fred von Lohmann\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a very important point. The bills specifically create four new remedies for intellectual property rights holders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One, the US government would be able go to court and get a site declared as dedicated to infringing activity or theft. Once that order has been issued, Internet service providers would then be required to disappear the web site for American Internet users, — block the site and make it disappear off the Internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second remedy would require search engines to delete that site from their search results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google supports the other two remedies in the bill. Once a court order is issued against a site, you’d be able to cut off the advertising relationships the site has with networks like Google’s and Yahoo’s and others. And you’d be able to get payment processors to cut off their relationship with these sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the first two –- the site blocking and the search removal, are an echo of the kinds of approaches that more repressive regimes have pioneered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rick Cotton of NBC Universal, the aspect of blocking the sites and blocking their businesses –- are both those tactics essential or would you be willing to live with more of a compromise measure?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rick Cotton\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No they’re both really critical. I think that’s because Internet users have to recognize stealing and accessing stolen content on the Internet is simply not an acceptable mode of utilizing the internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sites that are subject to the first two remedies, which is denying access from an ISP and removing them from search results — these are related to sites dedicated to theft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’d say that Mr. von Lohmann and others are confusing lawlessness with freedom. Freedom does not include freedom to steal. It doesn’t include that in the physical world and it should not include that in the Internet world. The notion that legitimate enforcement techniques can be misused in a repressive way can be made with respect to virtually any enforcement tool that’s available in a civilized society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chinese use police to arrest dissidents. Does that mean we shouldn’t use police? No it means that our enforcement techniques should be directed and carefully calibrated to address illegal activity. That’s what this does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Cotton, I wonder how much of the onus for this is on congress and how much on the industry. For example, if I see something on USA, a network that NBC Universal owns, and I love it and want to share it with somebody but it’s not on your web site, I might just go to YouTube to see if somebody grabbed it. At what point do content providers just say that this is the way of the world, so we just have to stay one step ahead of the pirates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rick Cotton\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Access to legitimate content is mushrooming on the Internet. ABC, NBC, and Fox came together around Hulu. Hulu is now ad-supported and is a subscription site; they\u003cbr>\nmake available huge amounts of TV content. As does iTunes with music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But these new forms of distribution that all of the content providers are embracing cannot compete against stolen, cannot compete against free. TV programs or films or office software — all of these require huge investment in order to produce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fred von Lohmann of Google, how sympathetic are you to challenges that companies like NBC Universal, Viacom, Disney, etc. face in producing content? In some ways\u003cbr>\nGoogle has been blessed –- you’ve had a piece of intellectual property –- this wonderful search algorithm that has printed money for years and made your company wildly profitable. That’s a different model than that of the content providers, where the capital barrier to entry is enormous to make that kind of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fred von Lohmann\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We at Google are very sympathetic. We invest an enormous amount of money in trying to help creators monetize their content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I agree that the legitimate alternatives are crucial. Netflix, Spotify, services like that are going to make a bigger dent on Internet piracy this year than anything congress can do. Ultimately the only way to beat online piracy is to give people something better that is legitimate. The industry has been making great strides in this, services like Hulu and Netflix. But Google has also done a great deal. We’ve built a content identification system into YouTube that allows rights holders to say I own copyright on this content. Our services will then automatically detect when that content appears, and we will allow the rights holder to block that if they want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we’ve found with more than 3,000 content owners, both large companies and small — the vast majority elect to keep that content up. We put ads around it, and the majority of the money goes back to the content owner. So we’re trying to build those kinds of solutions that will let content owners invest, make great content, and profit from it online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the current iteration of SOPA, there was a manager’s amendment proferred that would clarify that the bill is not meant to target American web sites: Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter. How concerned are you that the slope would be slippery and that congress would say at some point we have to apply this to American companies as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fred von Lohmann\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two ways in which the bills both on the House and Senate side continue to threaten American companies. Both bills would include American companies that operate web sites on so-called country-code top-level domains. Amazon.ca for Canada or eBay.co.uk for the UK, etc. The bills reach those domains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other area is that there was a foundation put in place by congress in 1998 – the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA. That law created the copyright foundation for all of the Internet companies that people enjoy. All of the Internet companies have been concerned that PIPA and SOPA might undermine that foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I want to bring in Ellen Seidler, a filmmaker based in the Bay Area, who has had some experience with Internet piracy affecting her. Tell me about the kind of work you do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ellen Seidler\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years ago I was a partner in an independent film, self-financed. It was quite successful in the film festival circuit then we released it on DVD and legitimate online outlets. Within 24 hours it was online in illegal form.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was aware piracy was going to be a problem, but what shocked me was the extent and how rapidly that one link multiplied into hundreds then thousands. We stopped counting. I’ve documented over 50,000 download links and streams to our film thus far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing that surprised me most was not just that the film was being pirated, but what I saw as driving the piracy – which is the monetization of stolen content. It’s not the pirate bays of the world or the bit torrents, it’s the Cyberlockers and the business model that depends on stolen content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With regard to Google, Mr. von Lohmann is talking about effort to cut off the money supply. But in the two years of dealing with this issue, every time I’ve approached Google about pirate web sits or ads by pirate web sites, they’ve done everything to avoid taking responsibility. They send DMCA notices to a web site called chillineffects.org, the implication that your DMCA notice is somehow chilling free speech, when the fact is that you as an artist are just asserting your legal rights. So I find it a little disingenuous to hear how concerned Google is about this when their ads the most prominent across the web.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Can you estimate how much you would have made from this film if it weren’t pirated?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ellen Seidler\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film was quite successful; we screened it at more than 100 film festivals around the world. It was well received and very popular. But the bottom has dropped out out DVD sales. If we’d released it about 5 over 6 years ago we’d have no problem making our money back, but now that’s never going to happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fredrick von Lohmann of Google, what would you say to Ellen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fredrick von Lohmann\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We of course are very sorry. However, we’ve been very clear, including with the takedown notices we’ve received from Ms. Seidler. We take that material down.

The bill has been getting lots of attention this week with business and entertainment industries taking up arms against freedom of information advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case you missed the discussion and want to bone up before tonight’s cocktail party, listen to this \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/12/29/144417831/godaddys-suport-for-sopa-draws-customers-ire\">recent interview on NPR\u003c/a>. But if you really want to sound smart, read through these highlights from \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201201030900\">Forum\u003c/a> with guest host Joshua Johnson and guests Rick Cotton of NBC Universal, Fred von Lohmann of Google and independent filmmaker Ellen Seidler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people who feel that Internet piracy is one of those things that only affect big companies and rich people, tell us how you think it affects the average person?\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rick Cotton of NBC Universal\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have to take a step back and look at what our jobs and our economy are based on. The US does not aspire to be a low-cost manufacturing economy. We aspire to have high-wage jobs, to have industries that add a high amount of value. Only if we sustain those sectors of our economy can we hope to compete globally and get our economy back on a path toward growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This bill addresses not only the theft of digital content, which can extend from books and software to TV, films, and electronic games, etc., but it addresses the rampant sale of counterfeit physical goods from foreign websites, which undercuts many of the high- growth sectors of the US economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what’s at stake here is really the long-term health of the US economy. If we don’t ensure that the economic benefits of our innovation and our technical invention and our creativity create jobs here, and allow them to be stolen by criminals operating sites in foreign countries, we are truly risking our future, our children’s jobs, and our economic health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NBC Universal, Viacom, Disney, News Corp are companies that deal in billions of dollars in content and that are extremely lucrative and valuable. Talk about what the landscape might look like for companies if these two bills had already been in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rick Cotton of NBC Universal\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I want to stress the fact that it also extends to companies like Pfizer, pharmaceutical companies, small companies that depend on innovative machine tools that drive much of the job growth in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other framework to consider is truly the rule of law on the Internet. If these laws had been in effect, one could imagine the evolution of the Internet over the past decade or so would have been a recognition by the user community that lawlessness and theft — trafficking in stolen digital goods and content — is as unacceptable in the digital world as it is in the physical world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we’ve allowed to develop is the notion that somehow the Internet is a zone where anything goes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turning to Fred von Lohmann of Google, it seems like your concern is that in the effort to catch these pirates, it may also end up doing damage downstream in the channels that pirates do business in, but also that people like me use to live our digital lives…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fred von Lohmann\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s right. Google has always been a staunch opponent of online piracy. But it’s incredibly important to emphasize what a small proportion of the Internet experience relates to these issues. These are important issues –- no question we need to do things to stop this activity. We support measures that would try to address these issues, particularly with foreign pirate sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the issue here is that when government acts, you have to be careful about unintended consequences. We don’t want a bill passing into law in America that sends a message to other countries that Internet censorship is a good way to handle your domestic legal issues. That’s a direction that countries like Iran, China, Pakistan have already gone down. We don’t think it’s appropriate for the US to follow in that line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So you’ve used the C word, which nobody likes to use in relation to US policy. What about SOPA and PIPA do you consider to be a censoring of the internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fred von Lohmann\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a very important point. The bills specifically create four new remedies for intellectual property rights holders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One, the US government would be able go to court and get a site declared as dedicated to infringing activity or theft. Once that order has been issued, Internet service providers would then be required to disappear the web site for American Internet users, — block the site and make it disappear off the Internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second remedy would require search engines to delete that site from their search results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google supports the other two remedies in the bill. Once a court order is issued against a site, you’d be able to cut off the advertising relationships the site has with networks like Google’s and Yahoo’s and others. And you’d be able to get payment processors to cut off their relationship with these sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the first two –- the site blocking and the search removal, are an echo of the kinds of approaches that more repressive regimes have pioneered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rick Cotton of NBC Universal, the aspect of blocking the sites and blocking their businesses –- are both those tactics essential or would you be willing to live with more of a compromise measure?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rick Cotton\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No they’re both really critical. I think that’s because Internet users have to recognize stealing and accessing stolen content on the Internet is simply not an acceptable mode of utilizing the internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sites that are subject to the first two remedies, which is denying access from an ISP and removing them from search results — these are related to sites dedicated to theft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’d say that Mr. von Lohmann and others are confusing lawlessness with freedom. Freedom does not include freedom to steal. It doesn’t include that in the physical world and it should not include that in the Internet world. The notion that legitimate enforcement techniques can be misused in a repressive way can be made with respect to virtually any enforcement tool that’s available in a civilized society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chinese use police to arrest dissidents. Does that mean we shouldn’t use police? No it means that our enforcement techniques should be directed and carefully calibrated to address illegal activity. That’s what this does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Cotton, I wonder how much of the onus for this is on congress and how much on the industry. For example, if I see something on USA, a network that NBC Universal owns, and I love it and want to share it with somebody but it’s not on your web site, I might just go to YouTube to see if somebody grabbed it. At what point do content providers just say that this is the way of the world, so we just have to stay one step ahead of the pirates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rick Cotton\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Access to legitimate content is mushrooming on the Internet. ABC, NBC, and Fox came together around Hulu. Hulu is now ad-supported and is a subscription site; they\u003cbr>\nmake available huge amounts of TV content. As does iTunes with music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But these new forms of distribution that all of the content providers are embracing cannot compete against stolen, cannot compete against free. TV programs or films or office software — all of these require huge investment in order to produce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fred von Lohmann of Google, how sympathetic are you to challenges that companies like NBC Universal, Viacom, Disney, etc. face in producing content? In some ways\u003cbr>\nGoogle has been blessed –- you’ve had a piece of intellectual property –- this wonderful search algorithm that has printed money for years and made your company wildly profitable. That’s a different model than that of the content providers, where the capital barrier to entry is enormous to make that kind of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fred von Lohmann\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We at Google are very sympathetic. We invest an enormous amount of money in trying to help creators monetize their content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I agree that the legitimate alternatives are crucial. Netflix, Spotify, services like that are going to make a bigger dent on Internet piracy this year than anything congress can do. Ultimately the only way to beat online piracy is to give people something better that is legitimate. The industry has been making great strides in this, services like Hulu and Netflix. But Google has also done a great deal. We’ve built a content identification system into YouTube that allows rights holders to say I own copyright on this content. Our services will then automatically detect when that content appears, and we will allow the rights holder to block that if they want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we’ve found with more than 3,000 content owners, both large companies and small — the vast majority elect to keep that content up. We put ads around it, and the majority of the money goes back to the content owner. So we’re trying to build those kinds of solutions that will let content owners invest, make great content, and profit from it online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the current iteration of SOPA, there was a manager’s amendment proferred that would clarify that the bill is not meant to target American web sites: Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter. How concerned are you that the slope would be slippery and that congress would say at some point we have to apply this to American companies as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fred von Lohmann\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two ways in which the bills both on the House and Senate side continue to threaten American companies. Both bills would include American companies that operate web sites on so-called country-code top-level domains. Amazon.ca for Canada or eBay.co.uk for the UK, etc. The bills reach those domains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other area is that there was a foundation put in place by congress in 1998 – the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA. That law created the copyright foundation for all of the Internet companies that people enjoy. All of the Internet companies have been concerned that PIPA and SOPA might undermine that foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I want to bring in Ellen Seidler, a filmmaker based in the Bay Area, who has had some experience with Internet piracy affecting her. Tell me about the kind of work you do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ellen Seidler\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years ago I was a partner in an independent film, self-financed. It was quite successful in the film festival circuit then we released it on DVD and legitimate online outlets. Within 24 hours it was online in illegal form.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was aware piracy was going to be a problem, but what shocked me was the extent and how rapidly that one link multiplied into hundreds then thousands. We stopped counting. I’ve documented over 50,000 download links and streams to our film thus far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing that surprised me most was not just that the film was being pirated, but what I saw as driving the piracy – which is the monetization of stolen content. It’s not the pirate bays of the world or the bit torrents, it’s the Cyberlockers and the business model that depends on stolen content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With regard to Google, Mr. von Lohmann is talking about effort to cut off the money supply. But in the two years of dealing with this issue, every time I’ve approached Google about pirate web sits or ads by pirate web sites, they’ve done everything to avoid taking responsibility. They send DMCA notices to a web site called chillineffects.org, the implication that your DMCA notice is somehow chilling free speech, when the fact is that you as an artist are just asserting your legal rights. So I find it a little disingenuous to hear how concerned Google is about this when their ads the most prominent across the web.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Can you estimate how much you would have made from this film if it weren’t pirated?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ellen Seidler\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film was quite successful; we screened it at more than 100 film festivals around the world. It was well received and very popular. But the bottom has dropped out out DVD sales. If we’d released it about 5 over 6 years ago we’d have no problem making our money back, but now that’s never going to happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fredrick von Lohmann of Google, what would you say to Ellen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fredrick von Lohmann\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We of course are very sorry. However, we’ve been very clear, including with the takedown notices we’ve received from Ms. Seidler. We take that material down. If someone tells us there’s pirated content on a particular web page , we remove an ad from that page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On our own intitiative, we’ve blocked more than 25,000 web pages from receiving our ads. We did that without receiving a complaint. We get complaints for copyright infringement for far less than 1% of the pages that show our ads, and when we do we immediately take those ads down.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Other good reads on the topic:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Some companies have threatened to \u003ca href=\"http://www.zdnet.com/blog/igeneration/google-amazon-twitter-and-facebook-consider-nuclear-blackout/14307\">go black\u003c/a> if the bill passes\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The Online News Association has \u003ca href=\"http://journalists.org/2012/01/05/ona-on-sopa/\">come out against the bill\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/02/business/media/the-danger-of-an-attack-on-piracy-online.html?_r=3&pagewanted=all\">David Carr’s\u003c/a> take from the NY Times\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A \u003ca href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/stop-online-piracy-act/\">round up of resources\u003c/a> from Mashable\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And the governor's choices defy the typical judicial profile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, the California judiciary is overwhelmingly male and more than 70 percent white. But Governor Brown's first appointments in seven counties reflect an effort to change that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than half of his new appointees are minorities, including Raquel Marquez, who becomes the first Latina judge in Riverside County. Marquez has 20 years of experience in the County District Attorney’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditionally governors tend to favor judicial applicants with experience as prosecutors, like Marquez. Public defenders and defense attorneys need not apply. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But six of Brown’s new appointees do have experience as defense attorneys. That includes 41-year-old Shelyna V. Brown, an African American woman who worked in the Santa Clara County Public Defenders Office since 1997. Another appointee, Michelle Williams Court in Los Angeles, worked for a time with the ACLU of Southern California. And unlike Governor Schwarzenegger, who named both Republicans and Democrats to the bench during his time in office, all but one of Brown's Tuesday appointees are Democrats, with one who declines to state a party affiliation. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>Tough-on-crime types may remember Brown’s first time as Governor when his very liberal appointments to the State Supreme Court became the target of a recall campaign\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Taken together with his appointment of UC Berkeley law professor Goodwin Liu to the State Supreme Court earlier this year, Brown seems to be opening new paths to the bench. There are nearly 50 more vacancies throughout the state, so Brown will have plenty more opportunity to reshape the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may be of concern to tough-on-crime types – victims' rights groups, law enforcement organizations, et al. They may remember Brown’s first time as Governor when his very liberal appointments to the State Supreme Court – led by \u003ca href=\"http://judgepedia.org/index.php/Rose_Bird#Recall_From_Office\">Chief Justice Rose Bird\u003c/a> – became the target of a recall campaign because of their opposition to the death penalty. In 1986 three of “Jerry’s Judges,” including Bird, were recalled by voters. It became one of Brown’s most controversial legacies, one he worked hard to reverse first as Oakland Mayor and then as Attorney General.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown’s crime fighting bona fides may be put to the test again next year. Ballot measures to repeal the death penalty and reform the state’s tough Three Strikes law are likely to go before voters in November.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And the governor's choices defy the typical judicial profile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, the California judiciary is overwhelmingly male and more than 70 percent white. But Governor Brown's first appointments in seven counties reflect an effort to change that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than half of his new appointees are minorities, including Raquel Marquez, who becomes the first Latina judge in Riverside County. Marquez has 20 years of experience in the County District Attorney’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditionally governors tend to favor judicial applicants with experience as prosecutors, like Marquez. Public defenders and defense attorneys need not apply. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But six of Brown’s new appointees do have experience as defense attorneys. That includes 41-year-old Shelyna V. Brown, an African American woman who worked in the Santa Clara County Public Defenders Office since 1997. Another appointee, Michelle Williams Court in Los Angeles, worked for a time with the ACLU of Southern California. And unlike Governor Schwarzenegger, who named both Republicans and Democrats to the bench during his time in office, all but one of Brown's Tuesday appointees are Democrats, with one who declines to state a party affiliation. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>Tough-on-crime types may remember Brown’s first time as Governor when his very liberal appointments to the State Supreme Court became the target of a recall campaign\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Taken together with his appointment of UC Berkeley law professor Goodwin Liu to the State Supreme Court earlier this year, Brown seems to be opening new paths to the bench.

Photo: Courtesy of Death Penalty Focus\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Former San Quentin warden Jeanne Woodford, who presided over four executions during her tenure, is now a vocal opponent of capital punishment and the executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.deathpenalty.org/index.php\">Death Penalty Focus\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and other anti-death penalty groups and individuals are pushing the SAFE California Act, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.safecalifornia.org/home\">ballot initiative\u003c/a> that would eliminate executions, leaving life-without-parole as the most severe criminal punishment in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Report's Scott Shafer interviewed Woodford this week about the initiative and the reasons for her opposition to the death penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edited transcript...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How optimistic are you that you'll get the signatures for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.deathpenalty.org/index.php\">ballot measure\u003c/a>? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're very optimistic. We've been collecting signatures for almost six weeks and we have over 300,000. We need 504,000 to qualify. They're not due until the middle of March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who's funding the campaign? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We put out the statement of who has contributed to date about a month ago. Included on that are some members from Google, Reed Hastings, and a couple of others. It's on the campaign web site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why should we replace the current law with your initiative? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our initiative is very simple. It ends capital punishment and leaves life without parole as the harshest penalty in California. Which is really what we have. Most individuals die on death row of old age and other causes other than execution. Because as you know we've had the death penalty as law for over 30 years, but we've executed just 13 people. And nearly a hundred have exited death row because of death or other causes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The death penalty is so expensive, as the \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jun/20/local/la-me-adv-death-penalty-costs-20110620\">Alarcon-Mitchell report revealed\u003c/a>. We've spent $4 billion on capital punishment in the past 30 years; if we continue down this path we'll spend $9 billion by 2030. We rarely execute anyone; it's been nearly six years since we've had an execution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement believes it is the least effective tool for preventing crime. Studies reveal it does not prevent crime at all, because for a punishment to prevent crime it needs to be certain and swift, and the death penalty is neither.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Life without parole provides for public safety. It keeps individuals in maximum security prisons for the rest of their lives. There is no opportunity for them to be released. Many members of the public don't understand that is a real punishment, it is a harsh punishment. And it will save the state money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And by eliminating the death penalty we eliminate the possibility of executing an innocent person. As you probably already know, we have about 139 people who have been exonerated on death rows across the country. We have not had a California exoneree on death row, but we have many exonerees who have had life sentences. The fact that they had a life sentence allowed them to prove their innocence, and I think that's very important for our culture and our society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The campaign against the initiative – they may show pictures of Richard Allen Davis and Scott Peterson and the night stalker, Richard Ramirez...and the campaign will claim that this initiative helps them, asking why they shouldn't pay the ultimate price for the most heinous crimes imaginable...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well the fact that the public recognizes every one of their names and pictures is a cause to end the death penalty. Their names stay in the media constantly and I think that's so hurtful to the surviving family members. We're not helping victims. Those same individuals, if they had been sentenced to life without possibility of parole, would have been sentenced to a maximum security prison where we probably would have forgotten all about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's very hurtful and harmful to those family members to have to relive these crimes over and over again, and for the individuals you named to get as much attention as they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You presided over four executions. Do you think the death penalty is immoral? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've always been morally against the death penalty. Many people who've been involved in executions have a moral objection to the death penalty, but we believe in carrying out the law, we're public servants. A moral objection is not why I'm arguing for ending the death penalty at this point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I 'm arguing against it because it doesn't serve us, it's not a public safety tool. A public safety tool is preventing crime, and the best way to do that is to solve crime. Forty-six percent of homicides in the state go unsolved each year, 56 percent of rapes go unsolved each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a public servant who has been in public safety for over 30 years, I believe the best way to protect our children, our neighborhoods, our communities, is to utilize the money we have been wasting on an ineffective punishment to solve crimes, to keep police on the streets, and that's what our initiative does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It ends capital punishment as the harshest penalty, leaves life without parole, requires all individuals serving life without possibility of parole to work while they're incarcerated their entire life and to pay restitution to the victims' compensation fund. And it allows a hundred million dollars to be set aside for three years to solve unsolved homicides and unsolved rapes in this state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>As you point out, the leading cause of death on death row is suicide or murder or natural causes, not execution. There are people who will oppose your ballot measure and say the problem with the death penalty in California is that it takes too long and we need to speed it up, not so that it's careless but so that it's more efficient. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alarcon-Mitchell report and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ccfaj.org/rr-dp-official.html\">report by the Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice\u003c/a> conducted a few years ago said that in order to fix -- if there is such a thing -- the death penalty, California would have to spend $100 million more per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is really about choices. Do we have that money? You have to take it away from somewhere else. Taking police off the street makes us less safe. Ending programs for delinquent youth makes us less safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other states where they have tried to improve or fix or hurry this along, they have found more innocent people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in states that carry out executions, they have some of the highest crime rates in the nation compared to states that don't have the death penalty at all or California, where we haven't been executing people for very long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why now? Has the public mood changed on this? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the public is concerned about the cost. We've had two very good reports that detail how much we spend on the death penalty and the fact we've had only 13 executions in over 30 years and that there's so much litigation involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've gone without an execution for six years; the costs continue to go up, so this is the right time for people to question how we should use our public safety dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Any idea on how the governor will come out on this? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't know. He's publicly said he's opposed to the death penalty, so I believe he supports ending capital punishment. But I don't' know what he'll publicly say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thinking about the different interest groups who could wage campaigns against this -- prison guards, district attorneys, police officer associations – what are you hearing from them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far we haven't heard from those groups. But I think it's really important to note that we have more law enforcement in favor of ending capital punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have Gil Garcetti, the former Deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles County who fought very hard for many capital cases in that county, who now says it just doesn't work. In addition there are other police and corrections staff across the state who have signed onto our initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Any sitting district attorneys? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far no sitting district attorneys. We know that there are some who don't believe the death penalty is an effective tool. There are very few counties that continue to utilize the death penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far this year, there have been fewer people sent to death row than at any point since the death penalty has been put on the books. But even prior to the bad economy, there are only about 10 counties that continue to seek the death penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There will no doubt be victims' families who will oppose this and who will say they want these individuals to die for what they did to their family members...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that's a very natural reaction, to want someone to die when they harm your family. These crimes are very horrific. So I understand that feeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I will tell you that as time goes on, there are more and more family members of victims seeking alternatives to the death penalty. The death penalty doesn't provide the closure that victims really need and deserve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People wait years for an execution that may or may not happen. People come to the prison thinking that the execution will somehow bring closure to them. I've just never had someone who that happened to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, I've had reporters tell me that family members told them a month or two after the execution that they regretted having been involved in the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When you were warden at San Quentin and presided over these executions, what was that like for you? And did you always feel that this is wrong and ineffective?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each execution is different. Of the four, one was a volunteer who stopped his appeals -- that was very different than the other three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You go to work each day, 60 days prior to the execution, knowing that you plan to kill someone, and lead your staff through it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the case of the volunteer, you know that you are going to assist someone with what amounts to suicide. So it has an impact on you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't think you quite realize the impact until you walk away from the job. Because when you're the warden, you're the leader of a very large organization. All of your thoughts are about your staff, your mission, and keeping people safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was the warden for five years...and every night I was awakeneed by a phone call for some emergency at the prison. So in that capacity, you don't get to think about yourself very much. Having left, I realize the impact that carrying out executions had on me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In talking to wardens across the country, they have reflected in their involvement in executions and have the same feelings I do; it's very hurtful. It's very harmful to be involved in executions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know that you participated in the planning and training of your staff to kill a human being -- and for what?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of every execution, someone on my staff would ask, \"did we make the world safer?\" We all knew the answer was no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The individuals that I was involved in the execution of had been on death row for years. The one volunteer wanted to die because he was old and so many aches and pains -- he just wanted it over with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So you're executing people who are quite elderly, in most cases, or have been there so long and are so tired they just practically don't care anymore. And you know you haven't helped public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is really how we think of ourselves: as protecting the public. When you come to realize the executions have done nothing to serve that purpose, then you really wonder why you have done that at all.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>To read alternative views from pro-death penalty advocates, \u003ca href=\"http://www.prodeathpenalty.com/\">Pro Death Penalty.com\u003c/a> has an extensive \u003ca href=\"http://www.prodeathpenalty.com/links2.htm\">list of resources\u003c/a>, including official sites for 27 states that employ the death penalty as well as neutral and anti-death penalty sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Photo: Courtesy of Death Penalty Focus\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Former San Quentin warden Jeanne Woodford, who presided over four executions during her tenure, is now a vocal opponent of capital punishment and the executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.deathpenalty.org/index.php\">Death Penalty Focus\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and other anti-death penalty groups and individuals are pushing the SAFE California Act, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.safecalifornia.org/home\">ballot initiative\u003c/a> that would eliminate executions, leaving life-without-parole as the most severe criminal punishment in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Report's Scott Shafer interviewed Woodford this week about the initiative and the reasons for her opposition to the death penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edited transcript...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How optimistic are you that you'll get the signatures for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.deathpenalty.org/index.php\">ballot measure\u003c/a>? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're very optimistic. We've been collecting signatures for almost six weeks and we have over 300,000. We need 504,000 to qualify. They're not due until the middle of March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who's funding the campaign? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We put out the statement of who has contributed to date about a month ago. Included on that are some members from Google, Reed Hastings, and a couple of others. It's on the campaign web site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why should we replace the current law with your initiative? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our initiative is very simple. It ends capital punishment and leaves life without parole as the harshest penalty in California. Which is really what we have. Most individuals die on death row of old age and other causes other than execution. Because as you know we've had the death penalty as law for over 30 years, but we've executed just 13 people. And nearly a hundred have exited death row because of death or other causes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The death penalty is so expensive, as the \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jun/20/local/la-me-adv-death-penalty-costs-20110620\">Alarcon-Mitchell report revealed\u003c/a>. We've spent $4 billion on capital punishment in the past 30 years; if we continue down this path we'll spend $9 billion by 2030. We rarely execute anyone; it's been nearly six years since we've had an execution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement believes it is the least effective tool for preventing crime. Studies reveal it does not prevent crime at all, because for a punishment to prevent crime it needs to be certain and swift, and the death penalty is neither.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Life without parole provides for public safety. It keeps individuals in maximum security prisons for the rest of their lives. There is no opportunity for them to be released. Many members of the public don't understand that is a real punishment, it is a harsh punishment. And it will save the state money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And by eliminating the death penalty we eliminate the possibility of executing an innocent person. As you probably already know, we have about 139 people who have been exonerated on death rows across the country. We have not had a California exoneree on death row, but we have many exonerees who have had life sentences. The fact that they had a life sentence allowed them to prove their innocence, and I think that's very important for our culture and our society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The campaign against the initiative – they may show pictures of Richard Allen Davis and Scott Peterson and the night stalker, Richard Ramirez...and the campaign will claim that this initiative helps them, asking why they shouldn't pay the ultimate price for the most heinous crimes imaginable...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well the fact that the public recognizes every one of their names and pictures is a cause to end the death penalty. Their names stay in the media constantly and I think that's so hurtful to the surviving family members. We're not helping victims. Those same individuals, if they had been sentenced to life without possibility of parole, would have been sentenced to a maximum security prison where we probably would have forgotten all about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's very hurtful and harmful to those family members to have to relive these crimes over and over again, and for the individuals you named to get as much attention as they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You presided over four executions. Do you think the death penalty is immoral? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've always been morally against the death penalty. Many people who've been involved in executions have a moral objection to the death penalty, but we believe in carrying out the law, we're public servants. A moral objection is not why I'm arguing for ending the death penalty at this point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I 'm arguing against it because it doesn't serve us, it's not a public safety tool. A public safety tool is preventing crime, and the best way to do that is to solve crime. Forty-six percent of homicides in the state go unsolved each year, 56 percent of rapes go unsolved each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a public servant who has been in public safety for over 30 years, I believe the best way to protect our children, our neighborhoods, our communities, is to utilize the money we have been wasting on an ineffective punishment to solve crimes, to keep police on the streets, and that's what our initiative does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It ends capital punishment as the harshest penalty, leaves life without parole, requires all individuals serving life without possibility of parole to work while they're incarcerated their entire life and to pay restitution to the victims' compensation fund. And it allows a hundred million dollars to be set aside for three years to solve unsolved homicides and unsolved rapes in this state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>As you point out, the leading cause of death on death row is suicide or murder or natural causes, not execution. There are people who will oppose your ballot measure and say the problem with the death penalty in California is that it takes too long and we need to speed it up, not so that it's careless but so that it's more efficient. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alarcon-Mitchell report and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ccfaj.org/rr-dp-official.html\">report by the Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice\u003c/a> conducted a few years ago said that in order to fix -- if there is such a thing -- the death penalty, California would have to spend $100 million more per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is really about choices. Do we have that money? You have to take it away from somewhere else. Taking police off the street makes us less safe. Ending programs for delinquent youth makes us less safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other states where they have tried to improve or fix or hurry this along, they have found more innocent people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in states that carry out executions, they have some of the highest crime rates in the nation compared to states that don't have the death penalty at all or California, where we haven't been executing people for very long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why now?
