probable solution

Sinnreich's article "Copyright and Intellectual Property" takes a different look at IP analysis, not only pointing out the problem, but providing the solutions for the problem for both the consumer and copyright holder. As Sinnreich proves it, most copyright holders have enforced penalties for copyright infringement but have ceased to create preliminary cautions to prevent infringement. He proves that copyright holders are quicker to use "cease and desist" policies than preventing infringement with the proper use of watermarks or encryption technologies.
Since the beginning of the internet, there has been an increase in fear over piracy and IP infringement. Since then, most copyright holders have chosen to take defensive positions in the form of quick penalization hurting their customers more and failing to prevent piracy infringement. In other words, nothing is really being done about piracy when copyright holders enforce penalties on their customers. By enforcing prevention policies such as watermark or encryption, the copyright holder prevents piracy infringement and the mishandling of copyrighted material. Sinnreich proves that positive change will only come with careful analysis of the malfunctioning system and the provision of probable solutions.
