PROTECT IP Act
The Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act , or PROTECT IP Act or PIPA , is a US bill that was introduced to the Senate on December 5, 2011 by Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy . Similar to the Stop Online Piracy Act ( SOPA ), PIPA should enable American copyright holders to prevent the unlawful distribution of their content on the Internet, among other things by blocking DNS .
The Wikimedia Foundation also joined the protests against SOPA and PIPA by online companies, internet activists and security experts , as the law would allow rightsholders to "put internet filters and blocks in place without independent judicial review."
The vote on the draft in the Senate was suspended on December 21, 2012.
