I'm interested in this as it will impact directly to everyone. I'm standing in the anti-censorship side and have been fighting for this in my country for many years. I'm not very familiar with the US law but will try to follow up closely. BTW, I've just submitted this issue to my Thai Netizen group and likely to update this news to the Electronic Commission Transaction meeting next week (I'm one of the subcommittee). <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi<br>
<br>
COICA is an intergalactically horrible idea that seems designed to greatly
escalate concerns about unilateralism vis. CIR. As CDT's letter <a href="http://cdt.org/files/pdfs/Leahy_bill_memo.pdf" target="_blank">http://cdt.org/files/pdfs/Leahy_bill_memo.pdf</a>
notes,<br>
<br>
"S. 3804 significantly aggravates the situation by suggesting to the world
that the U.S. does intend to use the historic nature of the DNS (with American
companies administering “.com” and other leading top-level domains) to impose
American law on the global Internet. Under the bill, the U.S. asserts that it
can take down websites created and operated anywhere in the world, simply based
on the fact that the websites use the most popular global top-level domain
(.com). This type of assertion of global control is the kind of U.S. exercise
of power about which other countries of the world have worried – and about
which U.S. foreign policy has sought to reassure the world. Thus S. 3804 directly
harms the United Statesʼ Internet governance agenda pursued through diplomatic
channels over the past ten years."<br>
<br>
A bit astonishing and sad that the bill was introduced by Patrick Leahy, who
for many years has been a champion of online civil liberties and partner of US
public interest groups on digital matters. But the IPR lobby is a
powerful beast that apparently must be placated…Still, I'd like to think he's
going through the motions here and knows this should fail.<br>
