GoKawiilH.R. 10364 anti-piracy bill would require ISPs, DNS providers and VPNs to block foreign piracy sites
A new U.S. House bill, the American Copyright Protection Act of 2026 (H.R. 10364), would require internet service providers, DNS resolvers and VPN services to block foreign websites or services hosting pirated content for connections originating in the United States. Standard blocking orders would need court approval and take effect within 14 to 30 days, while a special provision for live sports and 'time-sensitive events' lets a judge shorten that window if pirated streams appear within 24 hours of broadcast. Providers with fewer than 100,000 monthly users, public networks, and root/TLD DNS operators would be exempt.
