<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">The Internet Blackout in January 2012 saw thousands of websites ‘go dark’ to protest proposed US laws designed to implement a ‘multisystem denial of service attack’ against alleged IP-infringing websites by making
them both unfindable, and by cutting off any financial support. Within days, the laws – known as SOPA and PIPA – were effectively dead. But when and how did such laws even reach the stage of serious discussion? This paper will look at what’s changed, and
how and why regulating internet intermediaries and making them the internet ‘police’ has gradually become more acceptable to governments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
