We’ve all seen headlines in search results like this one – “XYZ Exposed: Miracle Diet or Scam”.

Website legal compliance is now under serious consideration by lawmakers in Washington. The U.S. Congress is now considering two proposed bills, which if enacted into law, would provide ground-breaking weapons for law enforcement and content owners to enforce intellectual property rights.
