The Block BEARD Act provides a framework for copyright holders to request federal court intervention to block foreign piracy websites. This bipartisan legislation, led by several Senators, is part of ongoing efforts to combat digital piracy in the United States. If a copyright holder identifies infringing material on a foreign site, they can ask the court to label it as a 'foreign piracy site' and evaluate the potential harm caused by the infringement. The criteria includes assessing if the site is primarily designed for piracy.
The Block BEARD Act would allow copyright holders to ask a federal court to block piracy websites. This invites legal intervention against foreign piracy sites.
The bipartisan legislation, introduced by Sens. Thom Tillis, Chris Coons, Marsha Blackburn, and Adam Schiff, aims at combating digital piracy in the US.
