Congress again vows to shut down domestic and foreign "rogue websites"

     Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, a Democrat,
     told reporters. Intellectual property theft is "one of the
     greatest threats to our economy today" because of the big role
     that copyrights, patents and trademarks play in boosting U.S.
     exports and productivity, said House of Representatives Judiciary
     Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, a Republican. "If we're going to
     have a healthy economy, we need to have a healthy IP sector,"
     Smith said.
