Wharton on Induce

From a business perspective, Induce-like legislation goes "against logic and common sense." Knowledge@Wharton: The Beat Goes On: This Recording Industry Bill Would Trap More than Just Illegal File-sharers

Stung by court decisions limiting its efforts to curtail file sharing, the recording industry says it needs legislation that would allow it to cast a wider net in its battle against illegal downloading. Proponents of the legislation also say it would protect intellectual property and encourage artists to create new work. Wharton faculty and technology companies, however, argue that it would stifle innovation and investment in technology. "There's no logic to this legislation," says Wharton marketing professor Peter Fader. "It goes against a lot of court decisions and common sense."
