The PRO-IP Act a/k/a "Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act" just sailed through our nation's House of Representatives yesterday. What does this mean for you? This act, if enacted into a bill, will give the government more resources at their disposal to punish those found in violation of copyright infringement which includes file-sharing. Furthermore, if enacted, the PRO-IP Act would create WHIPER a/k/a "White House Intellectual Property Enforcement Representative." WHIPER would be the agency responsible for going commando on those found suspected of file sharing. Punishment could range from property seizure to variable jail terms.
