Washington, D.C. - Congressman Howard Berman (CA-28) released the following statement in response to the twenty legislative recommendations for improving intellectual property enforcement announced today by the Obama Administration.

“Los Angeles workers and businesses are known for their innovation and creativity, yet suffer disproportionately when their copyrighted works – movies, music, and video games – are stolen and illegally distributed.  In my continued effort to stem this theft and protect local jobs and investments, I look forward to closely reviewing these recommendations and working with my colleagues to pass reasonable solutions to this growing challenge.”
