ACTION ALERT

In 2020, two bills on copyright made it
into the year-end omnibus bill. That
meant that an unconstitutional proposal
and one that no one in the public had
ever seen before were made law, without
having to stand on their own merits.
This year, we want to make sure that
doesn’t happen again.
Take Action:

We know of three bad proposals which
could be included in 2022:
- The Journalism Competition and
Preservation Act (JCPA), which would
create link taxes and devastate the
ability of users to trace back
information to its source online
- The Stopping Harmful Offers on
Platforms by Screening Against Fakes in
E-commerce Act (SHOP SAFE), which would
mandate filtering for trademarks—which
could include simple words—on any
online service by which a person could
buy or sell.
- The Strengthening Measures to
Advance Rights Technologies Copyright
Act, which would mandate a slew of
copyright filters which would devastate
legal expression online and harm online
security.
This list doesn’t include any
secretly-written bills, like 2020’s
felony streaming law. We want to make
sure Congress knows that any bill that
would restrict online expression in the
name of a so-called intellectual
property interest has no place in
must-pass legislation.

Tell Congress to stop the copyright
creep:
