Lawmakers Press Verisign To Take More Action To Combat Piracy
with Google, after years in which the search giant was pilloried for not doing enough to combat copyright infringement., with lawmakers querying the company on why it has declined so far to join an initiative to identify and eventually disable egregious infringing websites. Such agreements are referred to as “trusted notifier” arrangements, in which a registry or registrar is provided with accurate information about illegal website content, eventually leading to the disabling of the sites.
The company responded to the lawmakers by saying that it has initiated discussions with industry executives “for the purpose of establishing partnerships with state and federal authorities.” He suggested that while they recognize the need “to establish the expertise and legitimacy of trusted notifiers,” there also are concerns of “due process, transparency, proportionality, provenance and recourse for affected parties.” A decade ago, those were among the concerns of opponents, led by major internet companies, to the Stop Online Piracy Act, a major piece of anti-piracy legislation which was sidelined in the face of an unprecedented online protest.
Dean Marks, the former executive director and legal counsel for the Coalition for Online Accountability, said that when a registry suspends the domain name of a website, “it essentially becomes unreachable on the internet.” He said that major registries like Donuts, now known as Indentity Digital, and Radix, have had trusted notifier arrangements in place for more than six years.
