New U.S. Streaming Piracy Bill Focuses on Commercial Services

Senator Thom Tillis has announced a new bill that will criminalize streaming piracy. Unlike similar legislation that was proposed in the past, the new ‘‘Protecting Lawful Streaming Act of 2020’’ specifically focuses on commercial pirate platforms. While this is less broad than the SOPA and PIPA plans, critique remains, especially because the amendment will be added to the Government’s must-pass spending bill.
