Abstract
Because of the development of the Internet, people have changed their way to communication; this also caused a greater threat to copyright protection. During 2010 to 2012, there were three bills held in the United State in order to solve this problem: Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act, COICA; Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act of 2011, PIPA and Stop Online Piracy Act, SOPA. The advocates of these bills tried to use the method of blocking the domain names of online copyright infringement contents to protect the so-called copyright.
Facing overwhelming criticism, these bills failed to take effect in USA. But surprisingly, in 2013, the Intellectual Property Office of Taiwan claimed to adopt the methods of blocking copyright infringement websites to protect the right of the related groups. After studying in the background and criticism of the previous failure of the three American bills, this research came to the conclusion that blocking the online copyright infringement contents was a method of lack of legitimacy and effectiveness.
