Alexis Ohanian vs NBC - Debating SOPA
A summary for those who don't have 18 minutes:<p>1.  Excellent introduction and overview of the debate by Chris Hayes<p>2.  NBC General Counsel makes three interesting (cringe-worthy) points:<p>-jobs<p>-this only applies to international sites<p>-the internet is a lawless place<p>3.  He is mostly shot down by Hayes who said if it really only applied to international rogue sites then people wouldn't be making such a big deal about it<p>4.  Alexis makes the points:<p>-the problem of piracy will best be solved by innovation, not legislation<p>-the internet is not a "lawless" place and the DMCA is effective<p>-"piracy is a service problem" ie, if you provide better access to information you will win<p>5.  Random other dude chimes in and says the government did a massive study and can't conclusively say that piracy is killing jobs <i>at all</i>... the entertainment industry is actually growing<p>6.  NBC GC talks a little bit more, mostly being hysterical about how piracy is rampant and terrible.<p>Great job Alexis!!
