Gary Locke, the US Commerce Secretary, said that digital piracy threatened America’s economic competitiveness. In a speech at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, Mr Locke called on internet service providers and copyright holders to “work collaboratively” to combat digital piracy. He echoed comments made by Joe Biden, the US Vice-President, who said piracy was “unadulterated theft” and should be dealt with accordingly.
