Studiobriefing.com reports that NBC Universal general counsel Rick Cotton has asked the White House to establish a Cabinet-level piracy czar to deal with the alarming increase in piracy. According to Cotton, billions of dollars have been lost due to copyright piracy.
On 14 April, five days after the US filed a piracy complaint against China with the World Trade Organisation, the Chinese government publicly destroyed what it claimed were 42 million pieces of bootleg DVDs, CDs, computer software and illegal publications.
