"Intellectual property legislation introduced in the Senate on Thursday would
combine elements of two controversial IP enforcement bills: The PRO-IP Act,
which passed the House by a wide margin in May, and the PIRATE Act, which has
won Senate approval several times since its first introduction in 2004. The law
would increase penalties for counterfeiting, empower federal prosecutors to
bring civil suits against copyright infringers, create a federal copyright czar
to coordinate IP enforcement, and provide for the seizure of property used to
violate copyrights and trademarks."
