* Ensure that, in appropriate circumstances, infringement by streaming, or by means of other similar new technology, is a felony;
* Authorize DHS (including its component CBP) to share pre-seizure information about, and samples of, products and devices with rightholders to help DHS to determine whether the products are infringing or the devices are circumvention devices; and
* Give law enforcement wiretap authority for criminal copyright and trademark offenses.
