Justice Dept. proposes tougher copyright laws
People who attempt to copy music or movies without permission could face jail time under legislation proposed by the U.S. Justice Department on Thursday.
The bill, outlined by U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales at an anti-piracy summit, would widen intellectual-property protections to cover those who try but fail to make illicit copies of music, movies, software or other copyrighted material.
It would also enable investigators to seize assets purchased with profits from the sale of illicit copies, as well as property such as blank CDs that might be used for future copying.
