Summary

The PROTECT IP Act, a bill aimed at cracking down on rogue sites that steal content or sell counterfeit goods, is on the fast track. Introduced by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. just two weeks ago, the bill will go Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which he chairs. It's likely to sail through the committee, especially because 12 of the committee's 18 members are co-sponsors.
