A summary for those who don't have 18 minutes:
1. Excellent introduction and overview of the debate by Chris Hayes
2. NBC General Counsel makes three interesting (cringe-worthy) points:
-jobs
-this only applies to international sites
-the internet is a lawless place
3. He is mostly shot down by Hayes who said if it really only applied to international rogue sites then people wouldn't be making such a big deal about it
4. Alexis makes the points:
-the problem of piracy will best be solved by innovation, not legislation
-the internet is not a "lawless" place and the DMCA is effective
-"piracy is a service problem" ie, if you provide better access to information you will win
5. Random other dude chimes in and says the government did a massive study and can't conclusively say that piracy is killing jobs at all... the entertainment industry is actually growing
6. NBC GC talks a little bit more, mostly being hysterical about how piracy is rampant and terrible.
Great job Alexis!!
