International Intellectual Property Protection and Enforcement Act of 2008

If I were a betting man, I'd bet that this legislation will never be passed for very obvious reasons; export industries are never going to allow their trade agreements to be affected in order to protect content producer's profits.

I'm not saying that addressing the issue isn't important, because it is. I'm just pointing out this is particular legislation isn't the right approach because it's unlikely to ever be enforced.

Update: the bill has since been approved on a 14-4 vote.
