To me, this is not much difference than the SOPA/PIPA mess. If they |
| 19 |
implemented that, people would have a workaround in a matter of days and |
| 20 |
it would be common knowledge. So, everyone would be doing just like |
| 21 |
they did before |

I still recall the days when you connected directly to a website. Our |
| 24 |
shop could connect directly to IBM to get updates, technical info and |
| 25 |
even some tech support. The shop was a IBM dealer. We also had Leading |
| 26 |
Edge computers too. < Pardon me while I puke> I just don't see any |
| 27 |
way for the Government to shut us down from information. It could |
| 28 |
change elections tho. Whoever did shut it down would have a problem |
| 29 |
keeping his/her job. |
