U.S. Representative Zoe Lofgren has introduced the Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act, allowing copyright owners to secure court orders for blocking access to foreign piracy websites. With over a year of collaboration with tech and entertainment industries, she aims to counteract overseas copyright infringement without hindering overall internet accessibility. While supported by the Motion Picture Association, the bill faces criticism from advocacy groups as a potential overreach that could lead to censorship and misuse of internet service providers as copyright enforcers.
Lofgren's proposed Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act seeks to empower copyright owners by enabling court orders to block access to foreign piracy websites.
The bill has sparked controversy, with Public Knowledge condemning it as a 'censorious site-blocking' measure that shifts the burden onto broadband providers.
