Music publishers and songwriters applaud the President today for signing into law S. 3325, the Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act (PRO-IP Act) of 2008. This important law will help ensure America’s intellectual property rights, which support the creativity and innovation that drive our economy and boost job creation, are better enforced on a global scale. Of note is the fact that this legislation garnered support from a bipartisan majority in Congress, and a diverse group of industry, trade groups and labor unions. I thank the leaders of both parties in both houses of Congress for their leadership in getting this important measure over the finish line this year. It is important progress for creators and innovators across America and music publishers and songwriters are profoundly grateful.
