Orginalet har inte gått igenom, men det verkar ha kommit en ny variant.
Citat:
The proposed Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA), introduced last week by U.S. Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), would allow the U.S. Department of Justice to seek preliminary court orders against any Internet domain that it determines is peddling infringing goods.
If the original bill was passed by Congress and signed into law, all U.S. based Internet Service Providers, domain registrars and other operators of a domain name system servers would have been required to prevent access to any domain name served with a court order. The bill would also prevent U.S. based payment processors from processing online payments on the affected Web sites.
The amendment proposed today[September 29, 2010] strikes a clause allowing the DOJ to publish lists of sites it "determines are dedicated to infringing activities" but for which no court order has been sought. The amendment also softens language related to actions that ISPs and payment processors are required to take against domains that have been served with a court order.
Detta känns som att det skulle kunna vara ett smidigt vapen mot wikileaks och andra hemskheter.
