WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has chalked up a big win at the World Trade Organization against Chinese market barriers that encourage piracy of U.S. books, music and films, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said on Wednesday.

"Today, a WTO panel handed a significant victory to America's creative industries," said Kirk said in a statement.

"These findings are an important step toward ensuring market access for legitimate U.S. products in the Chinese market, as well as ensuring market access for U.S. exporters and distributors of those products," Kirk said.
