I really don't think we have to worry that much about this website, it doesn't attract enough corporate attention to be brought to court.

Isn't the internet, and the DNS servers all created and maintained by private companies?
How can the government intervene in a private companies assets in a capitalist socicity?

The government will make it illegal for pruvate compaines to let the websites be accessed. Just like they can make it illegal for Wal-Mart to sell pot.

‘(i) a service provider, as that term is defined in section 512(k)(1) of title 17, United States Code, or other operator of a domain name system server shall take reasonable steps that will prevent a domain name from resolving to that domain name’s Internet protocol address;

Well, it looks like you might be able to easily get around it by knowing the IP address of they host. I'm gonna make a list of my favorite sites just in case.

It's also possible to get around this by using a VPN. I'm planning on taking a look into subscribing to Overplay, because it's not incredibly expensive and it's the best one.

[Tom]

Or you could just use a proxy from a different country.

If this passes there are going to be a bunch of people getting internet from non censored countries through satellite.

Kill the president. And then i become him. And after that. I'll make the USANET

This act cannot censor every single IP address that VPNs have to offer, and Overplay has IPs in over 20 different countries. There's no way in hell this act could censor each and every single one of them.
