NUKE IT!

quote:
Blocking a domain name is black and white act, meaning that if the Justice Department decided that one aspect of a website was enough to make infringement “central” their only recourse would be to block the entire website rather than systematically removing the infringing portion.
why use a scalpel to remove the tumor when you can nuke it into oblivion

While you might destroy the tumor, the subsequent radiation ends up causing 100 more sites to pop up. So in the end you've done nothing productive except the false sense that you've actually accomplished something.

The law has not been enacted. If it is, there is some hope for having it declared unconstitutional.

Punishing people for letting their DNS servers give out truthful information is a "prior restraint" on freedom of speech, and this has almost always been invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court.

COICA IS BS !!!!
a law like COICA will bring us a lot closer to Communism than anything Obama or any democrat has done (that is in the eyes of conservatives).
and it will be some republicans/conservatives who will want to see this COICA happen.

Yet the US Government has already seized a number of domains a week or so ago without this law being on the books yet or any kind of due process.

It has had due process...the exact same due process that other crimes go through. The justice department went to the courts with what evidence they had, got a judge to sign off on a seizure warrant, and they seized it. If someone failed to pay their taxes, the IRS potentially goes through basically the same process to reposes property. A drug dealer with a meth lab doesn't get a 30 day advance notice to appear in court to appeal a raid where his lab gets confiscated.
