It was an amendment bought forward by Polis, to
not include Porn. It didn't pass.
"By a vote of 9 to 18, the House Judiciary Committee
rejected an amendment offered by Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.), which
would have barred the Department of Justice from using the new tactics envisioned by an anti-piracy bill to protect "obscene and pornographic works."
Members of both parties came together
to defeat the anti-pornography initiative, with Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas), ranking member John Conyers (D-Mich.), and even hardcore social conservative Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa)
all against Polis' amendment, and in effect, standing up to protect the porn industry."
