好莱坞电影公司此前曾因盗版问题与谷歌展开过斗争，但一则新的泄密消息显示，这些公司可能会借助国土安全部的一些意想不到的帮助来弥补分歧。2012年3月19日，一封泄露给索尼影业首席执行官迈克尔•林顿（Michael Lynton）的电子邮件，让人们重新审视了谷歌如何融入好莱坞及其他地区的反盗版工作。这封邮件描述了国土安全部的约翰莫顿组建的一个小型秘密组织，显然是为了解决网络盗版和其他犯罪问题。这封邮件是由索尼法律事务团队的一名成员发出的，建议将这次会议作为解决公司“谷歌问题”的场所。”谷歌显然愿意做更多的事情，而不是公开的立场，”电子邮件说。

“谷歌显然愿意做更多的事情，而不是公开的立场。”

在网络方面，该组织包括一名高级ICANN成员和Vint Cerf，后者是谷歌的首席互联网传道者，也是创建互联网的关键人物。在公司方面，该组织包括一系列令人惊讶的公司，这些公司面对并反击了各种盗版和版权问题。礼来公司的总裁兼首席执行官也参与其中，这是礼来公司成功打击网上销售假药的结果。语言服务机构罗塞塔斯通也包括在内，以及来自国家失踪和受剥削儿童中心的代表。目前还没有明确的迹象表明会议的主题，但考虑到谷歌与内容产业之间长期且经常紧张的关系，盗版问题似乎很可能很快就会被提到议事日程的首位。

邮件全文如下：

Subject line: Today's call with John Morton, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security

John is calling you today to invite you to join a **all group being formed to meet with him and Google ( and a few others) to explore working together to find a "compromise " to the Google issues; his theory is that a **all group will be more c***tructive and productive.

Google apparently is willing to do more than its public (and not so public) positi***; Google suggested you as the most balanced and reasonable person on the studio side and specifically requested your participation. No other studio would be involved.

You are his first phone call invitation to this **all group. He plans on also inviting the Chairman , President and CEO of Eli Lilly , John C. Lechleiter, who is very involved in fighting counterfeit pharmaceuticals; additionally , he wants to invite Ernie Allen who is the President and CEO of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. I have attached the resumes of each of these 2 gentlemen. Lastly, he is thinking of including someone from Rosetta Stone; I still have not confirmed who that would be. From what I understand, John does not want the group any larger.

On the Google side, I have been told that Vinton C. Cerf , Vice President and "Chief Internet Evangelist", as well as Dr. Stephen C. Crocker, Board Chair of ICANN, would attend. They are childhood friends and together have been resp***ible for laying the Internet’s foundation. I have also attached their resumes.

The meetings would be in Washington most likely since the others are in Indianapolis , Washington and Virginia respectively. Lastly, he has asked that we keep this very confidential.
