US Senate panel passes bill against piracy websites
 

Only part of the article I didn't like was to force ISP's to stop giving access certain domains. What is this, China?

going to create a boom for non-US domain sellers, internet service providers, payment processors and advertising networks. get your links up.

They will find a way around it, figure each process will take months

So they are finally shutting down youtube?

If this actually becomes law it's not good news.

big pirate sites will just have huge pools of domains and just switch them when they get seized, updating their followers via huge twitter, facebook accounts, mailing lists.

pretty much. the only person who its going to stop is the occasional novice internoob who wants to download a movie or new album

This law targets counterfeited piracy, not online digital piracy through sites that follow dmca laws, making what they do legal.

Several countries already have laws like this in place, America getting on board allows them to join forces and attack counterfeiters even more - and as a group, force major backones and icann to comply faster. The more Countries that do this, the more they will take out - and already have - and most haven't returned.

Counterfeiting is criminal in most Countries....they aren't just taking the site down, they're putting the owners in jail.

thank god i host all my pirated content here in the US...

looks like i will be unaffected... :thumbsup
