The US government is pressing ahead with its complaint to the World Trade Organization over the widespread piracy of movies, music and books in China, reports the Guardian. Yesterday the Bush administration requested a formal case at the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Body in order to force China to crack down on pirated goods. “Over the past several years, China has taken tangible steps to improve [intellectual property rights] protection and enforcement,” Sean Spicer, spokesman for US Trade Representative Susan Schwab, said in a statement. “However, we still see important gaps that need to be addressed.”
