US Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) on September 17 proposed legislation that would mandate Internet service providers, domain name resolution services, and virtual private networks to block foreign piracy websites, allowing copyright holders to secure judicial blocking orders. Previously, on September 16, Representatives Brian Jack (GA-03), Laura Friedman (CA-30), Nathaniel Moran (TX-01), Linda Sánchez (CA-38), Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11), and Tom Suozzi (NY-03) launched the Congressional American Film & TV Production Caucus, aiming to strengthen and increase film and television production across the United States. This follows a study commissioned by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) and conducted by Olsberg SPI, released on September 15, which projected that a federal tax credit for film and television production could generate an additional $125.3 billion in U.S. production spending and support an average of 143,500 full-time-equivalent jobs annually through 2035. The study indicated such an incentive, if introduced on January 1, 2027, could double U.S. production spending by 2035.
