The principle of SOPA is to go after websites that sells infringing products (unauthorized or prohibited use of works under copyright) the likes of music, movies, clothing and medicine. According to the bill supporters, this bill would put more teeth on the current Copyright infringement and would not limit at shutting-down U.S. based website but also to foreign sites.

Some noted highlights on the bill provisions would allow the U.S. Department of Justice and copyright holders to get court orders requiring online advertising networks, payment processors (i.e, paypal, cashu2, etc) and other organizations to stop payments to website or any web-based services accused of copyright infringement.

This bill can also prohibit search engines such as Google, Yahoo and many others as requested by Department of Justice on the court orders from linking to the suspected infringing sites. Domain name registrars can also order to block subscriber access for those websites and Internet service providers accused of violating copyright infringing.

Reports say that legislation of the bill is expected to happen before year end.

The .xxx domain name launched and was offered to adult webmasters March of this year. Pre-registration is required before claiming a domain. GoDaddy, the most popular domain name registrant, is charging an exorbitant fee of $209.99 for porn purveyors with domain renewals priced at an excessive price of $99.99. A standard .com domain name is priced at only about $11.99. With these very high charges, adult website owners decide to file the claim to get an injunction to the ongoing .xxx registrations.

The lawsuit was filed November 16 at the US District Court of California. The controversial TLD has had a lot of protests from the educational groups and other concerned citizens. With ICANN being sued, and if the big adult players do win in this game, it could cause a great effect on the TLD system and how it should be run.

Big commercial companies and educational institutions are paying steep prices to pay off their .xxx domain and block anyone from buying their xxx-equivalent website names to protect their reputation. Pepsi and Yale already did the first step and bought out Pepsi.xxx and Yale.xxx.
