Title: 'Rogue websites' bill introduced in US House

House Judiciary Committee chairman Lamar Smith,
said the bill "helps stop the flow of revenue to rogue websites and ensures that the profits from American innovations go to American innovators".
"The online thieves who run these foreign websites are out of the reach of US law enforcement agencies and profit from selling pirated goods without any legal consequences,"

The Washington-based Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) said the House bill "raises serious red flags.
"It includes the most controversial parts of the Senate's Protect IP Act, but radically expands the scope," the CDT said in a statement. "Any website that features user-generated content or that enables cloud-based data storage could end up in its crosshairs.

"Internet Service Providers would face new and open-ended obligations to monitor and police user behavior," the CDT said. "Payment processors and ad networks would be required to cut off business with any website that rightsholders allege hasn't done enough to police infringement.
