Congress’s Piracy Blacklist Plan: A Cure Worse than the Disease? - Techland - TIME.com

Congress’s Piracy Blacklist Plan: A Cure Worse than the Disease? - Techland - TIME.com: " Chamber's support of a Senate anti-piracy bill known as the PROTECT IP Act. Now Google is considering doing the same over the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), a companion bill recently introduced in the House. These high-profile walkouts are a sign of what's at stake.

For the content industry—including Hollywood and the recording industry—SOPA and PROTECT IP are necessary to fight foreign copyright infringers that usually stand outside the reach of U.S. law. Domestic domains, such as those ending in .com or .net, can already be seized by the government with a court order. However, U.S. authorities don't have the power to seize foreign domains, and such domains are often used by sites that illegally stream movies and sports or offer music for free downloads."
