Media Production and the First Amendment

The article I have read today was written by the CEO of Motion Pictures Association of America, Chris Dodd. He has been heavily influential in trying to help creators who are in lawsuits when the government is attempting mounting calls for the censorship of films. This is what the MPAA was created for. Georgia has been where most of the battles are taking place. The state legislator of Georgia has implemented the anti-SLAPP statute which better protects the free speech of producers, artists, movie creators, actors and anyone in the creation production. The new law as made it faster, cheaper, and quicker to go through these lawsuits for the individuals listed above. Because of these changes, the creativity of these people is no longer stunted by the government halting production due to copyright infringement. This will bring in money to the state of Georgia along with new jobs and publicity. This is a win for free speech for every one in Georgia.
I think that this is very fair to the state of Georgia and all the content creators that are there. I also think that in this day and age, through technology, it can be easy to infringe the first amendment. I think it's extremely important that todays Americans don't forget their roots and fight for the rights that our founding fathers did. I stand behind what Chris Dodd has done for Georgia.
