Campaigners Call For Internet Users To Fight Pirate Site Blocking Bill

The EFF is hoping to muster opposition to FADPA
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is attempting to rally opposition to anti-piracy site-blocking measures.
The draft Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act, introduced in February by representative Zoe Lofgren, includes court-ordered blocking measures against foreign pirate sites by both internet providers and public DNS resolvers.
Meanwhile, another piece of potential legislation touted by representative Darrell Issa, the American Copyright Protection Act, is believed to contain similar provisions.
"We’ve arrived at a proposal that has a remedy for copyright infringers located overseas that does not disrupt the free internet except for the infringers," she said at the time.
"The Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act is a smart, targeted approach that focuses on safety and intellectual property, while simultaneously upholding due process, respecting free speech, and ensuring enforcement is narrowly focused on the actual problem at hand."
However, the EFF is calling on internet users to contact their representatives and express their opposition.
