Jamaica is among more than 40 countries identified by the US Government as failing to sufficiently protect American producers of music, movies and other copyrighted material from piracy.
The Bush Administration on Monday placed 12 countries on a "priority watch list” which will subject them to extra scrutiny and could eventually lead to economic sanctions.
That list includes China, Russia, Argentina and Israel.
Jamaica is included among 31 countries which were placed on lower level monitoring lists, indicating the concerns about copyright violations in those nations did not warrant the highest level of scrutiny.
That group includes Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic.
The designations occurred in a report that the administration is required to provide Congress each year highlighting problems American companies are facing around the world with copyright piracy.
