            (4) Enforcement of orders.--
                    (A) In general.--To ensure compliance with orders 
                issued pursuant to this section, the Attorney General

                            (i) against any entity served under 
                        paragraph (1) that knowingly and willfully 
                        fails to comply with the requirements of this 
                        subsection to compel such entity to comply with 
                        such requirements; or
                            (ii) against any entity that knowingly and 
                        willfully provides or offers to provide a 
                        product or service designed or marketed for the 
                        circumvention or bypassing of measures 
                        described in paragraph (2) and taken in 
                        response to a court order issued pursuant to

                        provide or offer to provide such product or

                the Attorney General under subparagraph (A)(i) shall be

                    (C) Defense.--A defendant in an action under 
                subparagraph (A)(i) may establish an affirmative 
                defense by showing that the defendant does not have the 
                technical means to comply with this subsection without 
                incurring an unreasonable economic burden, or that the 
                order is not authorized by this subsection. Such 
                showing shall not be presumed to be a complete defense 
                but shall serve as a defense only for those measures 
                for which a technical limitation on compliance is 
                demonstrated or for such portions of the order as are 
                demonstrated to be unauthorized by this subsection.
                    (D) Definition.--For purposes of this paragraph, a 
                product or service designed or marketed for the 
                circumvention or bypassing of measures described in

                issued pursuant to this subsection includes a product 
                or service that is designed or marketed to enable a 
                domain name described in such an order--
                            (i) to resolve to that domain name's 
                        Internet protocol address notwithstanding the 
                        measures taken by a service provider under 
                        paragraph (2) to prevent such resolution; or
                            (ii) to resolve to a different domain name 
                        or Internet Protocol address that the provider 
                        of the product or service knows, reasonably 
                        should know, or reasonably believes is used by 
                        an Internet site offering substantially similar 
                        infringing activities as those with which the 
                        infringing foreign site, or portion thereof, 
                        subject to a court order under this section was 
                        associated.

                pursuant to paragraph (4), no cause of action shall lie 
                in any Federal or State court or administrative agency 
                against any entity served with a copy of a court order 
                issued under this subsection, or against any director, 
                officer, employee, or agent thereof, for any act 
                reasonably designed to comply with this subsection or 
                reasonably arising from such order.
                    (B) Immunity from liability.--Other than in an

                        be liable for any act reasonably designed to 
                        comply with this subsection or reasonably 
                        arising from such order; and
                            (ii) any--
                                    (I) actions taken by customers of 
                                such entity to circumvent any 
                                restriction on access to the foreign 
                                infringing site, or portion thereof, 
                                that is subject to such order, that is 
                                instituted pursuant to this subsection, 
                                or
                                    (II) act, failure, or inability to 
                                restrict access to a foreign infringing 
                                site, or portion thereof, that is 
                                subject to such order, in spite of good 
                                faith efforts to comply with such order 
                                by such entity,
                        shall not be used by any person in any claim or 
                        cause of action against such entity.
    (d) Modification or Vacation of Orders.--
            (1) In general.--At any time after the issuance of an order 
        under subsection (b), a motion to modify, suspend, or vacate 
        the order may be filed by--
                    (A) any person, or owner or operator of property, 
                that is subject to the order;
                    (B) any registrant of the domain name, or the owner 
                or operator, of the Internet site that is subject to 
                the order;
                    (C) any domain name registrar, registry, or other 
                domain name registration authority that has registered 
                or assigned the domain name of the Internet site that 
                is subject to the order; or
                    (D) any entity that has been served with a copy of 
                an order pursuant to subsection (c) that requires such 
                entity to take action prescribed in that subsection.
            (2) Relief.--Relief under this subsection shall be proper 
        if the court finds that--
                    (A) the foreign Internet site subject to the order 
                is no longer, or never was, a foreign infringing site; 
                or
                    (B) the interests of justice otherwise require that 
                the order be modified, suspended, or vacated.
            (3) Consideration.--In making a relief determination under 
        paragraph (2), a court may consider whether the domain name of 
        the foreign Internet site has expired or has been re-registered 
        by an entity other than the entity that is subject to the order 
        with respect to which the motion under paragraph (1) is 
        brought.
            (4) Intervention.--An entity required to take action 
        pursuant to subsection (c) if an order issues under subsection

        subsection (b) that may result in such order, or in any action 
        to modify, suspend, or vacate such order under this subsection.
    (e) Amended Orders.--The Attorney General, if alleging that a 
foreign Internet site previously adjudicated in an action under this 
section to be a foreign infringing site is accessible or has been 
reconstituted at a different domain name or Internet Protocol address, 
may petition the court to amend the order issued under this section 
accordingly.
    (f) Law Enforcement Coordination.--
            (1) In general.--The Attorney General shall inform the 
        Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator and the heads of 
        appropriate law enforcement agencies of all court orders issued 
        under subsection (b), and all amended orders issued under 
        subsection (e), regarding foreign infringing sites.
            (2) Alterations.--The Attorney General shall, and the 
        defendant may, inform the Intellectual Property Enforcement

        amended order issued under subsection (e).

                        court shall require the entity to show cause 
                        why an order should not issue--

                                        willfully failed to file a

                                        willfully certified falsely 
                                        that compliance with the 
                                        requirements of paragraph (2)

                without incurring an unreasonable economic burden, or 
                that the order is not authorized by this subsection. 
                Such showing shall not be presumed to be a complete 
                defense but shall serve as a defense only for those 
                measures for which a technical limitation on compliance 
                is demonstrated or for such portions of the order as 
                are demonstrated to be unauthorized by this subsection.

                        officer, employee, or agent thereof, shall not 
                        be liable for any acts reasonably designed to 
                        comply with this subsection or reasonably 
                        arising from such order; and

                                or

                                portion thereof that is subject to such 
                                order, despite good faith efforts to
