- Internet Piracy Act Saves U.S. Money, Jobs
Hands off the Internet" (Comment & Analysis, Thursday) uses unfounded assertions to criticize important legislation in Congress that protects America's innovators and job creators. The Washington Times claims that the Stop Online Piracy Act would allow "federal bureaucrats to censor the Internet." But there is no language in the act that would allow anyone to "censor the Internet." Enforcing our intellectual property laws against foreign criminals is not censorship.

- Why We Must Defeat Somali Piracy
The proliferation of piracy in the waters off the East African state of Somalia has constituted a severe threat to international shipping since the early 1990s. The United States, its European allies, Arab states such as Saudi Arabia and even China and India are gravely concerned about this threat to their vessels' safety. Piracy has led to an increase in shipping costs through the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden because of the hijacking and holding for ransom of the vessels' crews, who are held hostage in pirate-held towns along the Somali coast. These pirate-infested waterways have led to increased patrols by Western and other navies, including private security forces, but with no effective solution in sight. Martin Murphy's important book "Somalia, the New Barbary?: Piracy and Isla...

- Unflagging Television Piracy: How Piracy of Japanese Television Programming in East Asia Portends Failure for a U.S. Broadcast Flag*
This article attempts to bring both a comparative and an interdisciplinary perspective to bear on the problem of broadcast television piracy and the implementation of a broadcast flag to solve it.

The nature and scope of broadcast television piracy in both Japan and the US is assessed and digital rights management, the approach to curbing piracy and copyright violation into which the broadcast flags fall are briefly explored. The sociocultural contours of the demand underpinning the rampant piracy of Japanese television programs in East Asia are analyzed. It is concluded that while the pirac...
