Promoting Investment and Protecting Commerce Online : Legitimate Sites v. Parasites (Part I & II)

For more than two centuries, Americas economic strength has been built on a firm foundation.

However, in an increasingly connected world, threats have arisen from different parts of the world which have jeopardized our ability to sustain the incentives needed to foster growth and development and advance human progress.

These threats create challenges for us in both the physical world and the virtual world where the systematic and willful violation of intellectual property rights poses a clear, present and growing danger to American creators and innovators, US consumers and our collective confidence in the Internet ecosystem.

This book examines copyright issues and provides recommendations on how to tackle online parasites and cut off these sites from US based revenue.
