Question
Laws are being passed to try to stop people from violating copyright laws online. The entertainment and publishing industries are losing millions of dollars in revenue due to illegal downloading and reproduction of music, literature, movies, and so on. The loss of revenue negatively affects the income of thousands of workers in the arts, entertainment, and publishing fields. The new Internet copyright laws punish repeat offenders by prohibiting their use of the Internet. Some people do not agree with disconnecting these copyright violators from the Internet. Others are in favor of denying them access to the Internet. However, it will be costly to track down and prosecute copyright violators. Copyright holders are seeking the cooperation of Internet service providers, which seem willing to accept some of the burden.
