awepittance Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 ok INTERNET SEARCH ENGINES- A provider of an Internet search engine shall take technically feasible and reasonable measures, as expeditiously as possible, but in any case within 5 days after being served with a copy of the order, or within such time as the court may order, designed to prevent the foreign infringing site that is subject to the order, or a portion of such site specified in the order, from being served as a direct hypertext link. (i) IN GENERAL- A service provider shall take technically feasible and reasonable measures designed to prevent access by its subscribers located within the United States to the foreign infringing site (or portion thereof) that is subject to the order, including measures designed to prevent the domain name of the foreign infringing site (or portion thereof) from resolving to that domain name’s Internet Protocol address. Such actions shall be taken as expeditiously as possible, but in any case within 5 days after being served with a copy of the order, or within such time as the court may order. say goodbye to sites like Wikileaks the fact that they are asking companies to take such drastic measures against copyright infringement at least in my mind means this would effortlessly open the door for measures taken against things more illegal or 'threatening to national security' than copyright infringement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if I dropped an "Assange" or "WikiLeaks" in there, there'd be an outcry (by "outcry", I mean "like"). And I agree, it's going to be seamless to take this from its current (questionable) status against "copyright infringement" to our proposed web filter at home (Australia). I guess people will get the point when they can no longer post that Journey song over their YouTube video diary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcinsu Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 So i got an email about this from a petition site I signed, that said: "Nobody thought it could be done, but it looks like we've turned the tide against the Internet Blacklist Bill. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi just spoke out against it, and Republican Darrell Issa says it now stands "no chance of passage"! It's been a show of force like no other: More than 700k anti-censorship contacts have been delivered to Congress so far this week, as the Blacklsit Bill gets heard in committee. What an amazing couple of days -- let's top it off, and spread the great news! Please send one more message to Congress -- even if you already have -- touting our numbers and telling them they need to back down. Let's make it clear that the Internet has risen up, and won't back down until Congress heeds our calls." I haven't heard anything else beyond this though (yesterday afternoon). Anyone?
