STATEMENT FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PATRICK ROSS RE: Signing of PRO-IP Act by President BushOctober 13, 2008"The Copyright Alliance applauds today's action by the President of the United States to sign this important bipartisan bill into law. Increased copyright enforcement, combined with better coordination of intellectual property policy across the federal government, will reward all of us who love creative works. As intellectual property rights are enforced, U.S. artists and creators can maintain their leading role in the world of producing creative works that enrich our culture and drive our economy. “At a time when the performance of our economy is front and center for policymakers and families alike, it is worth noting that the theft of intellectual property costs the U.S. billions of dollars in lost revenue and hundreds of thousands of lost jobs. As Dr. Stephen Siwek noted in a report commissioned by the Institute for Policy Innovation, more than 11 million Americans are employed in copyright-related jobs, yet the U.S. loses nearly 400,000 jobs every year due to piracy and counterfeiting. This important new law will provide additional tools to combat this reality.” ABOUT THE COPYRIGHT ALLIANCE # # # FOR MORE INFORMATION: http://www.copyrightalliance.org/ |
