Cisco and Microsoft have joined entertainment titans Viacom and NBC Universal to lead a new advocacy group launched this week called Arts+Labs to safeguard copyrighted materials. The group, which also includes the Songwriters Guild of America, said it "aims to ensure that artists, creators and innovators can safely share their works through new online distribution channels with confidence that their right to earn fair compensation for their creativity is respected." Arts+Labs says it will also spread the word about how consumers can get their hands on legal entertainment content online.
