Senator Patrick Leahy recently introduced the "Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property" or "PROTECT IP" bill. This bill, while somewhat less draconian than COICA, is still problematic for web hosts, and providers of Internet infrastructure. Rather than dissect the bill line-by-line, the purpose of this post is to point out how this bill will create problems for the Internet infrastructure industry. Links to blogs that discuss the bill in more detail are at the end of this post. While there are some improvements in this bill, it is still fundamentally flawed, and very dangerous to internet infrastructure providers.
So is this bill better than COICA? First, gone are the "star chamber" like tribunals in which owners of intellectual property would be allowed to present evidence to the U.S. Attorney General to secure secret take downs of sites that are alleged to infringe their intellectual property rights. In its place is a more traditional system in which the Attorney General is empowered to secure temporary restraining orders and other extraordinary remedies against domain names and websites that are alleged to infringe another entity's intellectual property.
