What's everyone yelling about?
I'm with the slim minority of commentators in that I can't see how you can condemn this ... it's the US, enforcing their copyright laws, amongst their people, which seems entirely fair to me.
All right, it'd be a mammoth task to actually put in to practice, and there are questions as to what criteria would be used in determining whether is a website is truly responsible for piracy, but that's an entirely different matter.
And with regards to the chap who said that if they do successfully enforce this bill, it will only lead to there being more technical and harder to block ways of internet piracy; I don't disagree. However, the fact that it is so unbelievably easy at the moment, means that any old Tom, Dick and Harry can have a go. I think maybe if the obvious avenues were halted it would bring it back to the point where only the technically minded folk can do it, like it was many years ago, maybe, who knows.
