The Latin America Model


A recent article in Billboard, discusses how Latin American countries are beginning to crack down on illegal piracy, specifically in Argentina, Chile and Brazil. The model used in this fight could be a good example for what U.S. and other high yield pirating countries to do in the fight against the illegal pirating, and sale of media.

Authorities "Anti-Piracy Campaign" has already taken down 1 million sites that link to illegally downloadable content. Including social-networking sites, blogs and other mass communication tools. I think this is exactly what all countries need to start doing so they can 'revamp' the digital media market. It needs to be monetized in the form of digital radio, and more access to independent content.

As much as I and everyone around my age group loves free content, my future job is potentially at risk because of this growing problem!!!
