Well I think Obama was only against it because he did not want to piss off the masses with his second term election coming up soon.
Inevitable backlash though... http://rt.com/usa/news/hollywood-obama-s...pport-229/
Maybe but they are still outnumbered by the number of people that will vote.
If they matter. /conspiracymode
So true, the voting could be rigged with enough cash input and they certainly have enough of that, lol

Wee can only hope it isn't. (The fact Bush stayed in office for two terms still baffles me)

By blocking the domains at an ISP level. It would only affect one country.
Even if an ISP uses DNS blocking there are still ways to access the blocked site, A few that come to mind are...
1, Use another DNS server.
2, Use a proxy.
3, Use a VPN.
4. Could even just use the IP address directly if known for the site that is blocked
I wonder whether #1 would be considered illegal if DNS blocking did become effective. After all, it's basically a method for getting around legislated blocks.
Didn't some UK ISPs actually have to block the IP of ThePirateBay or something like that, because people were getting around DNS blocks?
So, it's postponed in the US, but looks like MAFIAA are taking a stab at
Canada and
Ireland.
Eh, so the media companies meh'd at SOPA cause they managed to get ACTA passed in Europe.
Yep, they'll be back with some SOPA-like law, just named differently. Manipulating the masses is always the way to go.
