Copyright legislation stalled by Internet campaign Share
Copyright protection was a hot, outside-the-Beltway topic the last two weeks as Congress was getting ready to move forward with two bills: the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) in the Senate. The bills would provide the Department of Justice with new copyright enforcement tools against foreign websites that traffic in pirated or counterfeit digital and tangible goods, such as movies, music, prescription drugs and designer handbags. While the legislation has an uncertain future, given controversy over a Domain Name System blocking provision, one attractive element of the bills was a precedent-setting provision that would stop advertising networks and payment processors from doing business with infringing websites. This approach might be a useful standard in the future if licensing programs are not embraced by news aggregators and other businesses that benefit financially from the unauthorized use of news content.
