Comment It really is a matter of "when" (Score 1) 213

From the looks of it and from other comments about SOPA on the internet, one way or another this will be brought in. What can we actually do once it is brought in to get around the problems of the law? It sounds more than just changing your DNS information to still access the sites taken down. Wasn't the law talking about actually bringing down the business (ie. youtube for copyright)? Is it just a matter of "bringing down the business" is just blocking domain name resolutions of "youtube.com" or actually removing all youtube servers?

If you swap "portable computing device" with "automobile", I am gonna take a guess that is another patent that the US patent office allowed? Is it really true that a simple idea like that can be made patentable? I thought the whole idea for patents was that you also needed some prototype of the patent in question. Glad I don't live in America, though this kinda affects the world I guess.
