As part of a new national strategy to reduce intellectual property theft, the United States Government will go after foreign websites that pirate American music and movie, says Vice President Joe Biden.

Biden did not mention any foreign websites by name. A recent USTR report said China’s top Internet search firm, Baidu Inc, was associated with between 50 percent to 75 percent of illegal music downloads in China.
Several Russian websites still provide illegal downloads, even though the most notorious and formerly largest site, Allofmp3, was shut down in 2007, the USTR report said.
