Supporters generally identified a need to have more effective laws to combat the illegal domestic sales of products and services, the counterfeiting and sale of products (such as prescription drugs, athletic shoes, and cosmetics), and worldwide copyright infringing activities which were problematic to prevent inasmuch as they originated outside the United States.
支持者普遍认为需要更有效的法律打击国内的非法产品服务和假冒产品（处方药、运动鞋、化妆品等）销售，世界各地的版权侵犯活动存在预防问题，皆因它们源自美国以外的国家。
