Another thing that I remember from watching the hearings was that there was
a lot of concern how well the proper procedure would be followed when blocking sites. Especially because it is just cheaper and easier to just block a site
than it is to contact them and so on.
What if, at some point, they figure that "Hey, we don't need to do this manually!
Let's use a contect ID bot like Youtube does and have it block sites if more than X
cases of copyright infringement is found!"
Heck, in a very extreme case, Subsim could be blocked due to various mods
that offer, for example, copyrighted music.
It's just so effing stupid.
The best thing I remember from the hearings is when some a bit younger guy
(can't recall names) says: "Right, the thing is, DNS blocking isn't all that effective.
I have a statement here from someone who knows this stuff and he says it can
be circumvented." To which another guys simply says: "Oh yea? Well, I don't believe you."
