Anti-Counterfeiting Amendments Act of 2003 passed by President Bush
January 4, 2005—Last week President Bush established ground-breaking legislation in the fight against software piracy and intellectual property rights protection by signing into law House Resolution 3632, the Anti-Counterfeiting Amendments Act of 2003. This law closes a critical legal loophole by criminalizing the distribution of standalone Certificates of Authenticity (COA) labels as well as other authentication components such as licensing documents and registration cards for copyrights.

The closure of this legal loophole will allow industry and law enforcement to address all aspects of piracy and make it much more dangerous for those attempting to defraud consumers and compete unfairly by illegally distributing standalone COA labels. There is no legitimate reason to sell or purchase individual COA labels. They are worthless when not tied to a software product, and now, the practice is illegal.

Please take note of this ground-breaking legislation.

 
ASUS P5AD2-E Premium win "Must Have"Award from HardOcp.com USA
January 2, 2005—The ASUS P5AD2-E Premium is a feature-rich motherboard with the heart and soul of a true enthusiast platform.
