CASE Act Explained
To many artists, the prospect of enforcing one's creative rights through the mechanism of copyright protection presents a number of challenges. While some of the enforcement issues plaguing copyright owners are a simple byproduct of progress — such as the need to police the web for online infringement or the proliferation of more-efficient technologies used in committing infringement — there are other obstacles that are inherent in our system of copyright law. Many of these built-in barriers to copyright enforcement have a disproportionate impact on the rights of individual artists and smaller, non-commercial arts organizations that often lack the financial means to seek a solution.

Protecting Innovation in the Cyber World from Patent Trolls
With trillions of dollars to keep watch over, the last thing we need is the distraction of costly litigation brought on by patent assertion entities (PAEs or "patent trolls"), companies that don't make any products but instead seek royalties by asserting their patents against those who do make products.
