There seem<br \/>\n        to be some lessons in the quickly adaptive and lucrative porno<br \/>\n        industry with implications for the evolving field of copyright and<br \/>\n        intellectual property law.<br \/>\n    <\/em>    <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Let the music industry sue those who share files, and let Hollywood<br \/>\n          push for tough laws and regulations to curb movie copying. Playboy, like<br \/>\n          many companies that provide access to virtual flesh and naughtiness,<br \/>\n          is turning online freeloaders into subscribers by giving away pictures<br \/>\n        to other sites that, in turn, drive visitors right back to Playboy.com.<\/p>\n<p>The copyright rumble is playing out a little differently in the red-light<br \/>\n          districts of cyberspace. That neighborhood is increasingly difficult<br \/>\n          to confine, what with a fetishwear-clad Janet Jackson flashing a Super<br \/>\n          Bowl audience of millions, and Paris Hilton making her own version<br \/>\n          of a &quot;Girls Gone Wild&quot; video. Professional peddlers say they<br \/>\n          are hard pressed to compete.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\n      from&nbsp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2004\/02\/08\/business\/yourmoney\/08porn.html?ex=1391576400&amp;en=a7295d0d09d34b71&amp;ei=5007&amp;partner=USERLAND\">the New York Times<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Times weighs in with some interesting observations on how the pornography industry has adopted to and taken advantage of the new advances in digital duplication and distribution, rather than bitching, moaning and instigating lawsuits like the music &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/2004\/02\/07\/porno-industry-adapts-to-digital-piracy\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":299,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1443],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-esl-links"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/299"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2063\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
