The Committee: Arlen Specter (Penn.), Dianne Feinstein (Ca), John Cornyn (Texas), Ben Cardin (Md), Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Evan Bayh (Indiana), George Voinovich (Ohio).
Specter: "This Bill gives our Government the tools it needs to protect American innovation by enhancing civil & criminal penalties for Intellectual Property violations & discourages Criminal Organizations from entering the Counterfeiting & Piracy market."
Whitehouse: "Intellectual Property Crimes cost American businesses $250 billion each year - more than all other property crimes combined."
Feinstein: "American Authors, Artists, & Innovators are the best in the world...this...Bill...will help strengthen efforts to combat the proliferation of counterfeit goods."
Cardin: "I believe this will provide the teeth our Law Enforcement Agencies need to clamp down on those that engage in this illegal conduct.
