Think Tank Urges Congress to Let Courts Block Pirate Sites
Original: Break the Pirates: Congress Should Allow Courts to Block Foreign Pirate Websites | Blogs | Sep 30, 2026
The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation has published a proposal calling on Congress to allow US courts to order the blocking of foreign websites that distribute pirated content. The blog post, titled 'Break the Pirates', argues that current enforcement tools are inadequate against offshore piracy operations. The proposal touches on long-running debates over internet regulation and free expression, and is likely to draw scrutiny from both copyright holders and digital rights advocates.
Why now: A renewed legislative push against foreign piracy sites reopens contentious debates over court-ordered website blocking in the United States.
