Abstract
The government plays a greater role in punishing those who conceal their identities online, particularly when they do so in furtherance of a serious criminal offense or in violation of a federally protected intellectual property right. The Fraudulent Online Identity Sanctions Act proposes increased prison time for those who provide false contact information to a domain name registrar and then use that online location in committing a trademark or copyright infringement felony.
