Washington - In comments filed this week with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on the topic of "Net neutrality," the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) cautioned the FCC against taking steps that would inhibit copyright-protection technologies or encourage Internet file-sharing, CNET News.com reported. The FCC received some 27,000 comments on the issue, which centers on whether broadband networks should be able to cut deals with content providers to provide them superior service. "Any policy efforts relating to Net neutrality must promote the protection of intellectual property," the MPAA wrote, in its comments. "It is crucial that FCC policies not interfere with the efforts of broadband companies and content providers of all kinds to solve problems of free riding."
