6.8: Perspective
Put the efforts to protect digital assets in perspective. Other Information:
Throughout each of these initiatives, it is important to put the efforts to protect digital assets in perspective. Threats
can range from file sharing to strategic data theft; addressing one in a unilateral fashion can endanger long term efforts
to address the other. Overzealous attempts to enforce security can endanger the entire digital ecosystem if it leads to overly
broad systems of control that inhibit innovation. This applies to government policy that can drive up costs of developing
new tools, as well as private technical and legal enforcement that can inhibit business model innovation and the creation
of new works.
