United States Senator Ron Wyden (Democrat from Oregon) said this month that he would hold an Internet anti-counterfeiting and infringement bill from moving forward — thus possibly delaying its chances for passage until the next session of Congress. The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act, introduced by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), has a provision allowing the Justice Department to pursue restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and injunctions against websites that have "no demonstrable, commercially significant purpose or use other than" copyright-infringing activities. It would also hold credit card companies and other partners liable. Wyden called the bill a "bunker-busting cluster bomb when what you really need is a precision-guided missile."
