Ding ding ding! We have a winner. That is exactly what David is afraid of. Remember OpenDNS is also used around the world. I am sure international users wouldn't appreciate being subject to our censorship and would also change DNS servers.
It may put a dent in their growth, but I still don't think it would have a major affect on their services. Why? Because most people, and all businesses & schools would choose to follow the law. I think only the advanced users would take the time and effort to go around government block lists.
