The Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act (FADPA) allows copyright holders to seek court orders to block access to foreign websites or online services that are found to be infringing on their copyrights. To obtain a blocking order, copyright owners must demonstrate that the foreign website is primarily designed for copyright infringement and that blocking access will not interfere with non-infringing material, burden service providers, or harm public interest. Service providers who comply with the court orders are protected from liability. The blocking order must be followed within 15-20 days and expires after 12 months, unless extended.
