US Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D- Calif. ) proposes law that would let copyright owners obtain court orders requiring Internet service providers to block access to foreign piracy websites.

The bill would also force DNS providers to also block sites.

Public Knowledge calls the bill a "censorious site-blocking" measure that turns broadband providers into copyright police at Americans ' expense.
