IP Czar Targets Overseas Pirate Sites

The good news is that the new U.S. intellectual property enforcement coordinator is targeting overseas piracy sites. The bad news is that "targeting" is all anyone is doing, no one is actually pulling the trigger.

Espinel repeatedly said the U.S. Trade Representative could be directed to pressure bad actors through the World Trade Organization, the body that supervises international trade. "There are no new simple answers," Espinel said repeatedly. That didn't satisfy many of the committee members, regardless of political affiliation.
