Think Tank Urges Congress to Let Courts Block Pirate Sites
Original: Break the Pirates: Congress Should Allow Courts to Block Foreign Pirate Websites | Blogs | Sep 30, 2026
The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation published a proposal calling on Congress to allow US courts to order the blocking of foreign piracy websites. The argument is that current enforcement tools are inadequate against offshore sites distributing copyrighted material, and that court-ordered blocking would close that gap. Similar proposals have long drawn opposition from digital rights groups concerned about censorship and free expression online.
Why now: Renewed policy debate over copyright enforcement against offshore piracy websites puts site-blocking back on the US legislative agenda.
