Copyright owners would get new court orders to block foreign websites that illegally share content.
Copyright owners would gain a new way to fight online piracy. They could ask a U.S. court to order internet providers to block access to foreign websites that illegally share copyrighted content. This would make it harder for people in the U.S. to reach these sites.
Currently, U.S. courts do not have a specific legal process to order internet providers to block foreign websites that engage in digital piracy. If this bill becomes law, copyright owners could ask a U.S. court to designate a foreign site as a piracy site. The court could then order major internet providers to block access for U.S. users. This would take effect 180 days after the bill is signed into law.
