摘要

In late September, U.S. citizens were considering several pressing issues that would influence the country's future. Of course, the first issue was deliberating the presidential candidacies of Sens. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and John McCain, R-Ariz., and deciding who would become the country's 44th president. A second issue was the viability of the country's financial system in light of systemic difficulties in the credit markets and the immediate and long-term fiscal effect of a government bailout with a total cost of near $1 trillion. A third issue was the recovery effort in the nation's Gulf Coast region after Hurricane Ike, which focused on the hope that the recovery there would be managed better than the U.S. government's response to Hurricane Katrina and the devastation in and around New Orleans. All of these issues required congressional attention. But this dense docket did not stop Congress from granting the entertainment industry yet another sweetheart deal: Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act of 2008 (PRO-IP). The primary objective of PRO-IP (S. 3325) is to enlist and institutionalize the federal government's assistance in investigating, prosecuting, and punishing intellectual property (IP) infringement on behalf of U.S. companies with sales that chiefly come from material subject to copyright, patent, or trademark protection. Of course, the legislation amends various provisions of the nation's patent, trademark, and copyright laws to provide stronger infringement penalties. Given the general imbalance (toward rights-holders) that IP legislation and policy have assumed over the past decade, such changes are not surprising.
