Bewkes, chairman and chief executive of Time Warner, and Sumner M. Redstone, who oversees Viacom and CBS.

New Corp.’s Rupert Murdoch used his Twitter account over the weekend to respond to the White House letter. “So Obama has thrown in his lot withSilicon Valley paymasters who threaten all software creators with piracy, plain thievery,†he tweeted. “Piracy leader is Google who streams movies free, sells advts around them.
