"MPA and US Congress Join Forces to Block Movie Piracy Websites"
TL;DR
The Motion Picture Association plans to collaborate with Congress to introduce site-blocking legislation in the US, allowing content creators to request ISPs to block websites sharing stolen content. The MPA argues that site-blocking would not harm legitimate businesses and cites examples of successful implementation in other countries. Critics have raised concerns about potential impacts on free speech, but the MPA is seeking support from theater owners to advance this initiative.
