HR 791

The Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act (FADPA) establishes a process for U.S. courts to issue preliminary orders blocking access to foreign websites and online services that engage in copyright infringement. Copyright owners or exclusive licensees can petition a court to obtain an order declaring infringement and potentially requiring broadband service providers to prevent users from accessing the infringing content. The bill outlines specific criteria for these orders, including demonstrating irreparable harm and identifying the foreign website or service. It also includes provisions for service providers, such as liability protections and a process for obtaining blocking orders.
