This analogy was made by Scott Turow, the author of 1L and Presumed Innocent, at a hearing on February 16 before the Senate Judiciary committee. Mr. Turow was testifying on behalf of the Author's Guild. He, along with Rosetta Stone CEO Tom Adams, made some of the most inflammatory and factually debased statements I've ever heard made in Congress. Both men were testifying at a hearing entitled "Targeting Websites Dedicated to Stealing American Intellectual Property." The hearing was called by the Judiciary Committee as part of its consideration of the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act or "COICA." In this blog post, I'll explore the amazing claims and logical fallacies made at this hearing. In a subsequent post, I'll explore how the Internet infrastructure industry and intellectual property industries can work together, rather than against each other, to address intellectual property infringement.
The title of the hearing indicates the viewpoint of Committee Chairman Senator Leahy. Indeed, during his questioning, he asked each of the participants to answer "yes" or "not" (and only "yes" or "no") whether they favored intellectual property infringement. This question was reminiscent of the question, "Do cigarettes cause cancer?" addressed to the CEOs of tobacco companies. Like that hearing, and not surprisingly, none of the witnesses said that they favored intellectual property infringement.
