COICA

[Milton L Mueller]

Correction: One Committee of one House of a bicameral legislature has approved it. ;-)
It must also go through the committee process in the House and that isn't even started.
People in DC think the tide is turning against this bill.

they approved it yesterday,

"The US Senate Judiciary Committee has approved a controversial bill<http://techdailydose.nationaljournal.com/2010/11/senate-judiciary-backs-online.php>that would give the authorities dramatic new copyright enforcement powers allowing it to take down entire domains "dedicated to online piracy" rather than just targeting files that actually infringe copyright law." http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/111910_Judiciary_Committee_Approves_Online_Copyright_Enforcement_Bill

see also;

"CADNA now encourages the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the global organization that sets policy for the Internet's naming and addressing system, to supplement the Senate's work by including in its policies provisions that will similarly prevent infringement and counterfeiting outside of the U.S.'s jurisdictional reach."
