      New Booz Research Report Shows That Copyright Centric Regulation Chills Investments In High Technology Startups

      The well known management consulting firm of Booz & Co. published a research report today that tends to demonstrate that Copyright centric regulations like SOPA/PROTECT IP have a chilling effect on angel and venture capital investment in high technology startups.

      More than 70% of angel investors reported they would be deterred from investing in high technology companies if anti-piracy regulations against “user uploaded” websites were increased.

      The Rothken Law Firm did assist Booz in the study as indicated in the report.
