The MPAA talks about SOPA/PIPA and responds to the 'campaign of misinformation'; EntertainmentWeekly.com, 1/25/12

Darren Franich, EntertainmentWeekly.com; The MPAA talks about SOPA/PIPA and responds to the 'campaign of misinformation' :

"The Motion Picture Association of America has been leading the SOPA/PIPA charge, and MPAA chief Chris Dodd was vociferous in his distaste for Congress’ decision to pull the bills. EW spoke to Michael O’Leary, Senior Executive Vice President for Global Policy and External Affairs for the Motion Picture Association of America, about how the MPAA sees the future of anti-piracy legislation, and why Hollywood and the tech community should work together, not against each other."...

[O'Leary] "...The problem we’re talking about today is of a much larger scale.In the hundred years since the example you gave, there’s been an evolution as to the importance of protecting intellectual property, and the need to protect it because it’s central to our economy."
