Senators Announce New Intellectual Property Enforcement Bill - Why??? Enforcement of civil law is traditionally (and best) left to the harmed party or parties. Is DOJ prepared to force the FBI to start investigating copyright infringement (again) despite the fact such frivolous issues would steal resources away from much more pressing matters? I do not think that anyone could possibly want this bill to pass other than special interests in Hollywood.
