Rep. Darrell Issa (R‑CA) has introduced H.R. 10364, the American Copyright Protection Act, which would allow copyright owners to seek court orders blocking U.S. users from foreign piracy sites. The bill expands blocking obligations to include VPN providers, ISPs and DNS providers. It adds procedural safeguards such as notice, a chance to respond, and a required bond from copyright owners.
Why it matters: The bill would extend site‑blocking orders to VPN services, raising significant privacy and security concerns.
