-<hr>
-<p>
-The Tor Project doesn't usually get involved with U.S. copyright
-debates. But SOPA and PIPA (the House's "Stop Online Piracy Act" and the
-Senate's "Protect-IP Act") go beyond enforcement of copyright. These
-copyright bills would strain the infrastructure of the Internet, on
-which many free communications -- anonymous or identified -- depend.
-Originally, the bills proposed that so-called "rogue sites" should be
-blocked through the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS). That would have
-broken DNSSEC security and shared U.S. censorship tactics with those of
-China's "great firewall."
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Now, while we hear that DNS-blocking is off the table, the bills remain
-threatening to the network of intermediaries who carry online speech. Most
-critically to Tor, SOPA contained a provision forbidding "circumvention"
-of court-ordered blocking that was written broadly enough that it <a
-href="http://wendy.seltzer.org/blog/archives/2011/12/15/stopping-sopas-anti-circumvention.html">could
-apply to Tor</a> -- which helps its users to "circumvent"
-local-network censorship.  Further, both bills broaden the reach of
-intermediary liability, to hold conduits and search engines liable
-for user-supplied infringement. The private rights of action and
-"safe harbors" could force or encourage providers to censor well
-beyond the current DMCA's "notice and takedown" provision (of which <a
-href="https://www.chillingeffects.org/">Chilling Effects</a> documents
-numerous burdens and abuses).
