The originally proposed bill would allow the
U.S. Department of Justice, as well as copyright holders, to seek
court orders against websites accused of enabling or facilitating
copyright infringement. Depending on who makes the request, the court order could include barring
online advertising networks and payment facilitators from doing business with the allegedly infringing website, barring
search engines from linking to such sites, and requiring
Internet service providers to block access to such sites. The bill would make unauthorized
streaming of copyrighted content a crime, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison for ten such infringements within six months. The bill also gives immunity to Internet services that voluntarily take action against websites dedicated to infringement, while making liable for damages any copyright holder who knowingly misrepresents that a website is dedicated to infringement.
[4]Proponents of the bill say it protects the intellectual property market and corresponding industry, jobs and revenue, and is necessary to bolster enforcement of
copyright laws, especially against foreign websites.
[5] They cite examples such as Google's $500 million settlement with the Department of Justice for its role in a scheme to target U.S. consumers with ads to illegally import
prescription drugs from Canadian pharmacies.
[6]The
House Judiciary Committee held hearings on November 16 and December 15, 2011. The Committee was scheduled to continue debate in January 2012,
[11] but on January 17 Chairman Smith said that "[d]ue to the Republican and Democratic retreats taking place over the next two weeks,
markup of the Stop Online Piracy Act is expected to resume in February."
