Allows copyright owners to petition U.S. courts to designate foreign online locations as piracy sites.
The bill amends title 17, United States Code, to allow the owner or exclusive licensee of a copyright to petition a U.S. district court to designate a foreign online location as a foreign digital piracy site. The court can issue such an order if the petitioner demonstrates that the foreign online location is primarily designed for violating copyrights, has no significant purpose other than copyright infringement, or is marketed for such use. The court must consider factors like the burden on service providers and the harm to the petitioner.
