"The lead sponsor of the U.S. Stop Online Piracy Act, a controversial copyright enforcement bill, will remove a much-debated provision that would require Internet service providers to block their subscribers from accessing foreign websites accused of infringing the copyrights of U.S. companies."
The concept of the Stop Online Piracy Act is simple - block access to companies that imitate American companies - and / or sell illegal copies of software and services.
There are many websites and countries that are unregulated. These might like the table vendors in NYC that sell Coach purses for $10 (or ... fake Coach purses). The internet is largely unregulated - and almost anything goes. While this proposal has controversial points, it might be a step in the right direction.
