President Bush signs anti-piracy bill, creates IP czar

U.S. President George W. Bush has signed an anti-piracy bill into law  
that will help companies protect their intellectual property (IP),  
like movies, software and music.  He also created a new government  
intellectual property czar, who will serve as a high-level worker  
designed to be an "Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator" for  
the White House.
The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) and Recording Industry  
Association of America (RIAA) supported the bill and are happy it was  
signed into law.  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce also supported the  
bill, which has seen multiple modifications before being signed into  
law.
"By becoming law, the PRO-IP Act sends the message to IP criminals  
everywhere that the U.S. will go the extra mile to protect American  
innovation," U.S. Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Tom Donohue  
said.
Civil and criminal intellectual property laws will be tightened, along  
with stricter penalties on IP violators.
