Allows copyright owners to petition U.S. courts to designate foreign online locations as digital piracy sites.
The bill amends title 17, United States Code, to permit the owner or exclusive licensee of an exclusive right to petition a U.S. district court to designate a foreign online location as a foreign digital piracy site. A court may issue such an order if it determines that the petitioner is the owner or exclusive licensee of an exclusive right, and that the material or activity at the foreign online location likely violates that right or protection. The court may also issue an order directing service providers to prevent U.S. users from accessing the designated site.
