What can be learned from a series of dead regulatory projects?

ACTA, PIPA/SOPA: Why care?
• Copyright protection regulates information society on a global scale
• Sets rules for or affects:
- international trade, markets
- digital infrastructure, devices, software, services - innovation - privacy, free speech
• IPR enforcement:
- Sets (mandatory) global standards for criminal law - Introduces criminal law sanctions for specif ic forms of infringement - Creates conf licting links between copyright and human rights,
to the detriment of the latter

TRIPS (1994)
• Entry point for IPR into trade agreements
• First international standards on IPR enforcement:
− General obligations and principles to be implemented according to national law/legal practice
− Criminal penalties for acts of “wilful trademark counterfeiting or copyright piracy on a commercial scale”

Narratives of TRIPS
• Regime shifting (WIPO → WTO): Great paradox!
• US content industry as driver
• Convincing IPR importing countries to accept rules benef iting solely minority of IPR exporters
• How?
"entrepreneurship of ideas by individuals knowing how to harness structural power” " (Drahos, Braithwaite 2002: 197)
Two framing achievements:
1. Linking IPR standard setting to trade 2. Conceptualizing copyright infringement as theft

ACTA
Goal:
• Setting new gold standard for IPR enforcement by “coalition of the willing”
Provisions:
• "Three strikes"
• Secondary liability for ISPs
• Notice and take down rules
• Reinterpreting TRIPS provisions, notably copyright infringement on a "commercial scale"

Criticism of ACTA
• Intransparency (intergovernmental mode)
• Violation of privacy (monitoring of users)
• No guarantee of due process (vague language)
• Criminalization of copyright infringement (f ile sharing=commercial activity)
• Excluding developing countries (country club approach)
• Avoiding intergovernmental organizations and processes (WIPO, WTO)
• Privatization of law enforcement (ISPs as point of control)

Academic accounts of ACTA
• Aims to create a super-structure replicating WIPO to circumvent negotiation deadlock (Geist)
• Aggressive use of club arrangements to enhance their already very powerful bargaining position (Yu)
• Game of “cat and mouse” (IP maximalists versus IP minimalist, small/weak) (Sell)
• IP norm setting: small group environment with network-based forms of coordination: „Power is wielded through enrollment of like-minded actors“ (Sell)

From mandatory to discretionary provisions:
• Cutback of private IP enforcement
• Rebranding three strikes/graduated response
• Reducing liability for intermediaries
• Push back of criminal law in IP
• More f lexibility in national implementation
Despite all this:
4.7. 2012: European Parliament votes against ACTA
ACTA → ACTA lite → ACTA's defeat

SOPA/PIPA
Goal:
• Combat copyright infringement and counterfeiting of goods by def ining new obligations for internet "intermediaries"
Provisions:
• Public remedies against infringement: - DNS Filtering (ISPs) - financial & ad blocking (payment and ad networks) - removal of links (search engines)
• Private remedies with minimal court involvement • Extended penalties for copyright infringers

PIPA/SOPA: Criticism
• Extensive private enforcement & uncertain protection for the public
• Restriction of free expression (blocking of DNS and search engines)
• Violation of privacy (monitoring consumers for immunity)
• DNS interference (damaging technical integrity of the internet)
• Application of U.S. law on non-U.S. websites (ex. The Great Gatsby)
• Absolute liability threatens internet services (cloud, platforms)
• Obstructing internet innovation
• Vague legislative phrasing (chilling effect)

SOPA lite (*12/2011 - †01/2012)
• Cutback of private copyright enforcement
• Shift in scope: narrow def inition of "U.S. directed sites" (foreign sites only)
• Exclusion of DNS interference
• Softer phrasing: "expeditiously as possible" instead of "5 Days”
• Redef ining commercially motivated infringements
• Relieving ISPs of monitoring duties

Narratives of SOPA/PIPA's defeat
Wake up call and watershed moment changing the political landscape in the US
• Yochai Benkler: shift from copyright to censorship focus
• West Coast non-prof its: Blackout Wikipedia, Reddit, others
• West Coast IT industry:
- Confluence of interests between companies and users turned the tide
- IT industry alignment behind "don't break the internet" issue replacing "learned helplessness"
• Obama administration: no support for legislation that "reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet"

Dynamics
• Oscillation between multilateral and plurilateral agreements (forum shifting)
• Conf licts over scope, minimum standards, national f lexibility re protection
• Governments (US, Europe, Japan) aim for harmonization through global "gold standards"
• Diffusion of standards via regional/bilateral trade agreements
Drivers:
• Agency: Content industry/ Governments of US, Europe, Japan
• Form of power:
• Networked governance selectively enrolling organizations
• Enforcement pyramid vis a vis rule taking (developing) countries
• Frames: linking IPR infringement with crime, security risks, loss of tax revenue, terrorism etc

6,32 Conceptual Shortcomings of IPR Enforcement Analysis
1. No comprehensive accounts of international IPR enforcement
2. Understanding of dynamics and drivers focus on the "cats":
- Emphasis on interests of content industry suggests linear expansion of enforcement standards
- Concept of networked power explains victories but not failures
3. Academic narratives and policy developments don't match!

• Need for symmetrical narratives explaining success AND failures of agreements or policies
• Better understanding of resources: how to conceptualize power in the struggle over information governance? (How does the mouse beat the cat??)
• Dynamic approach:
• What has changed since TRIPS?/What has changed due to TRIPS?
• Impact of internet on IPR discourse, actor constellation, political strategies, composition/distribution of power?
• Changing normative frames of reference (human rights), new transnational publics against background of information society?

• Notion and impact of discourses and frames: range between rhetorical strategies and performative actions
• Pragmatists: inseparable links between decision-making and meaning making
• Public debates shape issues (Noortje Marres)
• Role of academia?
• Consolidation of meanings as an open-ended process driven by changing actor constellations, concerns, experiences (SOPA/PIPA)
• Internet: multiplication of potential publics, issues, frames make policy development less predictable – for the time being
