In this article, it is stated that in Italy, instead of having a court handle copyright infringement, regulators are given the power to handle such situations. In the case the article talks about, a website containing 11 movies was blocked by the regulator AGCOM. This is seen as a drastic move because upon further inspection, the site removed all of the movies so instead of blocking the site, AGCOM could have properly contacted the site owner to tell him to remove the content, however, they decided to in a sense “squash an ant with a hammer”. Another problem with what they did is that AGCOM said that the website was guilty of massive infringement even though that is an overstatement. The problem with this is that AGCOM is setting themselves up for future issues by giving such a small issue a drastic action and by being so loose with their definition of massive infringement. This reminds me of how in HCE, Shirky essentially says that we have to focus more on how to remedy issues instead of stopping them from popping up. In this case, sites that have illegal content are impossible to stop from being created but when found, they can be shutdown, however if the definition of what is allowed and what isn’t is too loose, then it could be troublesome to handle either. My question is, should user generated materials be regulated?
