In 2001, Pfizer found that more than 88% of the Viagra bottles showcased on shelves, other than in hospitals, were pirated copies of their own invention. Aside from loss of profit to company, this poses other concerns notably concerns of consumer safety and health (World Health Organization, 8) since counterfeiters rarely go to the trouble and expense of making sure that their pharmaceutical imitation meet the requirements of policies such as the United States Food and Drug Administration

Counterargument Critics of these types of legislation acknowledge that there is a need to regulate and to prevent certain specific types of activities over the Internet that violate rightfully-held copyrights and other forms of intellectual property. However, these bills are all tremendously overbroad, because they would actually authorize government agencies to shut down entire websites based on even a single instance of copyright infringement posted on the website (Perlroth, 2012 )
In principle, these types of legislation are extremely detrimental to the concept of free speech and intellectual liberty and stand to completely undermine the value of the relatively new Internet medium on a worldwide basis. Proposed Justification According to the proponents of these pieces of legislation, they are necessary to protect the proprietary interests of the rightful owners of copyrights and other forms of intellectual property from illegal infringement that is rampant online (Wortham, 2012)
