Here's what the email I received said:

"...a bipartisan group of legislators recently introduced S. 968; a bill giving the Justice Department the authority to seek a federal court order to seize a domain name used by a website engaged in criminal piracy or counterfeiting. Under the bill the Court would also issue an order to intermediaries -- such as ISPs, payment processors, Internet registries, advertisers, etc. -- prohibiting them from doing business with such criminal operations."

I don't know anything more about it.
