H.R. 10364 would make VPNs and DNS resolvers block foreign piracy sites within 14 to 30 days

H.R. 10364 would require ISPs, VPNs and DNS resolvers to block foreign piracy sites within 14 to 30 days of a court order. The text leaves "from the United States" and the blocking method undefined, so each provider would pick its own test, and shared CDN addresses make any IP block spill onto other sites.
