Last week, when the Department of Homeland Security leaned on Mozilla to remove a Firefox add-on making it simple to bypass domain name seizures, we wondered at the request. After all, the add-on only made it easier to do a simple Google search, and we wondered "what the next logical step in this progression will be: requiring search engines to stop returning results for seized domain names?"
Turns out that's exactly what's being contemplated.
Surprise! After months in the oven, the soon-to-be-released new version of a major US Internet censorship bill didn't shrink in scope—it got much broader. Under the new proposal, search engines, Internet providers, credit card companies, and ad networks would all have cut off access to foreign "rogue sites"—and such court orders would not be limited to the government. Private rightsholders could go to court and target foreign domains, too.
As for sites which simply change their domain name slightly after being targeted, the new bill will let the government and private parties bring quick action against each new variation.
Get ready for the "PROTECT IP Act."
Comments
Since the internet is open source, any government will find it extremely difficult to enforce their paranoia. For every one they catch there will be 100's more they miss. You can't arrest everyone. Eventually, the public will migrate to other forms of entertainment that doesn't require access to the internet...entertainment free from government regulation.

Eventually, if you fight the Government or Corporates where does that leave you? Empty. You have to let Jesus fight your battles for you. To me, it not my concern we lost our freedom of speech, my concern is about everyone's salvation. Freedom of religion is a concern for believers in Christ Jesus, but remember Persecution and Martyrdom are rewarding far beyond the riches of this physical world. All those rich and famous people worship themselves as gods just as their fans worship them. Boast anc Pride.
This is why the Protect-IP will be used against Christian sites and deem them as infringement. After that, another bill will make it mandatory to have DRM Thought Police chips implanted in the brains of American citizens. Satan has control of us for materialism, fame, and money.
If we want to avoid such things, we are to leave our house and everything and live in the wilderness to serve The Living God and His Son. To be Spiritually Rich, you must be Physically and Financially poor. Spiritual riches are far rewarding. This is why His Son sent on the cross to die for your sins, that includes materialism, fame, and money.
