However, the entertainment industry and their <del>lackeys<\/del> supporters in Congress have introduced the Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act of 2011 or PROTECT IP Act for short.\u00a0 It isn&#8217;t out on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thomas.gov\">Thomas<\/a> yet so we do not know who is sponsoring it, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dontcensorthenet.com\">Don&#8217;t Censor the Net<\/a> obtained and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dontcensorthenet.com\/full-text-of-the-protect-ip-act-of-2011\">released a copy<\/a> of it for everyone to read in all its pro-censorship glory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Senator Leahy has posted the sponsors&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/leahy.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/BillText-PROTECTIPAct.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">final version of the bill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdirt.com\/articles\/20110511\/00115314234\/full-text-protect-ip-act-released-good-bad-horribly-ugly.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">Techdirt<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/torrentfreak.com\/u-s-to-introduce-draconian-anti-piracy-censorship-bill-110511\/\" target=\"_blank\">Torrentfreak<\/a> have good write ups on what we know about it, but here is a summary of the odiousness of this bill:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the Attorney General of the US can obtain a court order to censor an infringing website without due process.\u00a0 It can then serve  the court order on specified U.S. based third-parties to censor the website or stop doing business with the website.\u00a0 Third-parties include search engines, payment processors, online advertising network providers, and internet service  providers.\u00a0 Third-parties would now be held liable if they do not censor the specified website.\u00a0 Websites could be held liable for simply linking to an infringing website;<\/li>\n<li>additionally, the act would extend most of the tools the Attorney General has to\u00a0 private copyright holders. They could obtain a court order against a website without due process.\u00a0 The copyright holders could then  serve  the court order on specified U.S. payment processors and online advertising network  providers to force them to stop doing business with the website;<\/li>\n<li>court orders would not be limited to the specified domain, but would include all domains linked to the website that were created after the court order was issued;<\/li>\n<li>service providers which voluntary censor websites that they deem to be  infringing would be protected from liability.\u00a0 Should a service provider choose to censor a website, there appears to be no recourse for the owner of the censored website;<\/li>\n<li>the bill is directed at &#8220;Internet site dedicated to  infringing activities&#8221;, a definition which is rather loose and very much in the eye of the beholder.<em><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of the seeming pluses of the PROTECT IP Act when compared to COICA is that it does not appear to directly target domains.\u00a0 However, domain registrars would be encouraged to take down infringing domain names voluntarily.\u00a0 We hope that ICE&#8217;s attempts to seize domains via Operation In Our Sites does not hold up in court.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We need your help!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The PROTECT IP Act is an enormous leap towards censoring the internet, and we need your help in fighting it.\u00a0 Please join us on Sunday, May 29th, for our monthly meeting \/ social.\u00a0  The meeting starts at 2pm.\u00a0 We will start the grill around 4pm and go  until 6pm.\u00a0 It will be at 25 Moore St., Somerville, MA.\u00a0 Please tell us whether you will attend by signing up at our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/event.php?eid=102255399862111\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook event<\/a> or via <a href=\"http:\/\/tweetvite.com\/event\/MPMay11Soc\" target=\"_blank\">Tweetvite<\/a>.\u00a0 Thanks!<\/p>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\" class=\"mcePaste\" style=\"position: absolute;
