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

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.

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.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that
