A bipartisan group of lawmakers on Wednesday introduced a new bill that would increase civil penalties for copyright infringement, bolster criminal enforcement, and create a new federal agency tasked with copyright protection, CNET News.com reported. The bill would also create a new U.S. Intellectual Property Enforcement Representative, or USIPER, who would serve as the chief advisor to the president on intellectual property issues, while the Justice Dept. would get a new Intellectual Property Enforcement Division, with an annual budge of $25 million.
