3) Mounting evidence is showing that a sole focus on enforcement is expensive and may actually beineffective.Just this month, the French government signaled that their three strikes approach to copyrightenforcement has proven to be costly and largely ineffective in both reducing rates of piracy and

increasing rates of legal media sales, and that theyll be vastly reducing their investment in thisapproach.5 This evidence is consistent with our belief that increasing competition through thedevelopment of contestable digital markets is both the biggest opportunity for increasing commerceand also the best tool for combatting piracy.In summary, the US, as one of the largest global markets for internet use and media production, andas home to some of the worlds most innovative and productive industrial sectors -- both in mediaproduction and internet-based creation and distribution -- has an opportunity to lead by example in thearena of rights management and innovation. We urge you to study the positive and negative lessonsbeing learned in other parts of the world, and to advance the United States position as a leader in thisarea that is so critical to the future of our economy and society.Sincerely,
