Cecilia King, Washington Post; Hollywood tells lawmakers to back U.S. efforts in copyright trade talks:
"Hollywood urged key lawmakers Thursday to support trade negotiations that would set rules for policing copyright laws.
The Motion Picture Association of America wrote a letter to several lawmakers including Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Va.) and House Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, asking them to support the Obama administration's efforts in the trade talks, which are being conducted behind closed doors in Seoul. Other countries participating in the negotiations include the United States, Canada, Japan and South Korea, along with European Union members.
In its letter, the MPAA said that new global rules are needed to protect films from Internet piracy. As more people illegally trade content online, the movie studios businesses suffer."
