Following Attorney General Eric Holder’s formation of a new Department of Justice Task Force on Intellectual Property, Michael D. Gallagher, president and CEO of the ESA has welcomed the movie.
“We applaud the Justice Department for its commitment to protecting intellectual property and commend the Attorney General for his leadership in establishing the new Intellectual Property Task Force,” he said.
“The Attorney General’s support creates an environment for growth—both economically and creatively—that generates innovative computer and video games for enthusiasts and helps protect the jobs of countless contributors who bring these products to market.
“Intellectual property is the lifeblood and backbone of entertainment software. Consumers benefit with the lower cost, high-quality and more diverse title offerings that are made possible by strong measures protecting the creative works of our industry’s artists.”
