Sorry to be a pest. Somebody handed me this; it's kind of interesting: “Members of the European Parliament back criminal sanctions for counterfeiters.” This is Wednesday, April 25, so it's pretty topical. “In an effort to clamp down on piracy and counterfeiting, Parliament”—that's the European Parliament—“endorsed, on 25 April 2007, measures for fining counterfeiters up to €300,000 or, in the most serious cases, jailing them for up to four years.”
I don't know what “Parliament endorsed” means. Does that mean it passed a law or some committee—? If any of you have any further knowledge about this article, could you please expand on it for us?
