Bush Passes Strict Anti-Piracy Law

U.S. President George W. Bush signed a bill on Monday (October 13) to inflict harsher penalties for movie and music piracy.


According to Reuters, the Pro-Intellectual Property Act passed yesterday will appoint a position for an intellectual property czar, making them responsible for directly informing the President on various methods to help increase copyright security worldwide.

In addition to the newly formed advisor spot, the bill also tightens criminal laws against piracy and counterfeiting at the federal level.
