The competing bills currently under consideration ? The Protect IP Act (Protect IP) and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) ? are both aimed at websites that are focused on infringing the intellectual property rights of content owners. What?s both creative and controversial about these proposed laws from a website legal compliance perspective is the enforcement mechanism ? shutting down the offending websites regardless of whether they?re U.S. based or foreign based websites.
The typical offenders that are the targets of Protect IP and SOPA are websites that pirate and illegally stream movies, TV shows, and music. However, if you?re a content owner with valuable content that may be the target of infringers, these proposed statutes may provide important legal remedies for you to protect your intellectual property.
The Protect IP Act
The target in Protect IP are websites that are ?dedicated to infringing activities?. The key to determining if a website falls under this standard is whether it can be proved that the website has ?no significant use? other than engaging in or facilitating infringement.
Remedies for violations are three:
* blocking the domain name from DNS servers and search engine results (available only to U.S. law enforcement),
* mandate that financial institutions (meaning primarily credit card processors) cease doing business with offending websites to the extent of U.S. online customers (available both to U.S. law enforcement and content owners), and
* prohibition of advertising services that provide ads to offending websites from continuing to do business with them (available both to U.S. law enforcement and content owners).
Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)
SOPA is similar to Protect IP, but there are differences. The key difference is that SOPA lowers the bar for proof requirements when determining which sites are ?infringing?, meaning that content owners would have an easier task in getting to the remedies.
Under SOPA, content owners would only have to prove that an offending website is ?dedicated to the theft of U.S. property?, clearly a much lower proof requirement than Protect IP?s.
Unlike Protect IP, SOPA would employ a procedure similar to the current DMCA notice and counter-notice procedure prior to bringing action against an infringing website. The notice would enable payment network providers and Internet advertising services the opportunity to cease dealing with offending websites prior to an action for a court order.
Conclusion
Given the severe remedies of both bills ? shutting down offending websites ? critics are numerous, particularly regarding SOPA. Critics argue that the severe remedies amount to censorship with related violations of free speech, plus they argue that there will be serious unintended consequences.
Most commentators are predicting that a statute with the same goals as both Protect IP and SOPA will eventually find consensus and be passed into law. If you?re a content owner that provides content the Internet, the outcome will likely affect you in a significant way.

ADEN (Reuters) ? Thousands of Yemenis began a 50 km (31 mile) march on Saturday to demand an end to a conflict which has forced nearly 100,000 people to flee southern Yemen, residents said, a day after seven militants were killed in fighting there with the army.
Up to 20,000 activists set out from the port city of Aden towards Zinjibar, the capital of Abyan province where the army has been battling Islamist militants suspected of having links with al Qaeda, residents said.
The marchers called on both sides to lay down their arms and demanded the government open the Aden-Zinjibar coastal highway, a key trade route which has remained closed during the conflict.
The militants and the Yemen-based regional wing of al Qaeda -- seen by the United States as the group's most dangerous branch -- have thrived during the instability caused by nearly a year of protests against the 33-year rule of outgoing President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia, which shares U.S. concerns over more instability in a country sitting next to oil shipping routes, has backed a Gulf Arab plan to ease Saleh out of power.
Since Saleh handed over the reins to his deputy under the Gulf peace accord, a new government headed by an opposition leader has been formed. A presidential election is scheduled for February.
But the fighting against the Islamist militants in the south has continued, forcing about 97,000 people to flee. More than 300,000 others have been displaced by a conflict in the north and nearly 200,000 have sought refuge from Somalia, according to U.N. estimates.
FUEL LIFELINE
Separately, Yemen's oil minister said a grant of diesel from neighboring Saudi Arabia would be enough to cover the country's needs for two months, easing some fears about the strife-hit economy.
Industry sources said on Thursday Saudi Arabia's state oil company Aramco was seeking to buy fuel in order to donate about 500,000 tonnes of products to Yemen in January.
"Yemen's diesel consumption is 260,000 tonnes monthly, worth $280 million ... The Saudi grant will cover Yemen's diesel needs for two months," Oil Minister Hisham Sharaf told Reuters.
It would be the second time in six months Saudi Arabia has thrown a fuel lifeline to its impoverished neighbor, which Saudi officials fear could slip into civil war after a year of protests against outgoing President Saleh.
Sharaf also told Reuters production at the Masila oilfield - now under Yemeni administration after Canada's Nexen had one of its production contracts expire without renewal - was 70,000 barrels per day.
Yemen relied on 3 million barrels of Saudi-donated crude oil to run its refinery in June, when its main pipeline was shut after blasts, causing a fuel shortage.
The pipeline, which was repaired during the summer, was shut again after attacks in October. The lack of crude flow in the pipeline has also forced the Aden refinery, where production mainly meets domestic fuel demand, to halt operations.
