===DNS Filtering===
DNS filtering or blocking is another provision of the bills which requires Internet Service Providers ([[ISP]]s) to remove important DNS records or block DNS queries for a suspected infringing website if a petition or complaint is filed a law enforcement agency. This provision is also present in PIPA and it is highly objected by DNS experts including [[Steve Crocker]], [[David Dagon]], [[Dan Kaminsky]], [[Danny McPherson]], and [[Paul Vixie]] due to its negative impact to the overall architecture, stability and security of the internet.<ref>[http://dyn.com/sopa-breaking-dns-parasite-stop-online-piracy/ SOPA: Why Do We Have To Break The DNS?]</ref> <ref>[http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/05/dns-filtering/ Internet Researchers Decry DNS-Filtering Legislation]</ref> The White House also issued a statement that it does not support censorship that will threaten freedom of expression, innovation and pose risk to cybersecurity.<ref>[http://www.geekosystem.com/white-house-sopa-petition/ White House Responds to Two Anti-SOPA Petitions]</ref>

Although the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) is a strong supporter of SOPA, the organizations Tech Policy Chief Paul Brigner believed that the DNS filtering should be removed from the bill.<ref>[http://www.geekosystem.com/mpaa-bails-on-dns-blocking/ Even the MPAA is Shying Away From DNS Filtering, Saying It’s “Off the Table”]</ref>
