They have a much more clever plan than simply seizing the domain name, which only works for .com and a couple others. Those crafty pirates simply registered a non-US domain and they were back in business!
No, this time they're going to pass a law with which they can order ISP's to remove DNS resolution for said sites!
W00t! Total win!
I guess the morons have never heard that DNS resolves a name to a number, and that web sites can be accessed by directly entering the IP address. Of course, that becomes somewhat more complicated under IPv6.
And if they try to block the IP address, you can use a foreign proxy service to get at the site.
So how long before a Firefox add-on buffers the IP address?
Morons.
