In the US, can create a copyright protection police
A new bill has been submitted to the US Congress, which should further tighten the users' responsibility for intellectual property infringement.
The draft law “The Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act” (PRO IP) provides for increased liability for piracy of any type, including commercial piracy, manufacturing of counterfeit products and patented drugs. Among other things, the punishment is tightening for ordinary PC owners who download pirated movies and music.
One of the main innovations is the creation of a new police unit, the Office of the United States Intellectual Property Enforcement Representative (USIPER), whose task is to combat violations of intellectual property. The mandate of USIPER police officers will allow them to work even outside the United States .
The bill is being promoted with the support of several influential congressmen representing the republican and democratic parties. Since the national economy of the United States largely rests on the principle of intellectual property, the Congress will have to consider, without underestimation, the issue of state security.
