Taiwan proposes China-style block on overseas Internet services that
infringe copyright
http://j.mp/17Nat8n (The Next Web)
"Draft legislation to block links at IP and DNS level has been put
forward by The Taiwan Intellectual Property Office (IPO), as Global
Voices notes. The SOPA-like initiative is designed to make sites from
overseas that specialize in copyright infringed content unavailable in
the country, in effect it will see Taiwan raise a firewall of its own.
The IPO has clarified that it will only target international websites
that are notorious for file-sharing and other activities that violate
digital content rights, but, logically, Taiwanese citizens have
expressed concern that the initiative could be hijacked for other -
potentially political - purposes."
