Late response, but you can get to a website just as easy by typing its IP. Domains are mainly for making sites easier to remember and faster to type.

There are many disadvantages with pure IP sites.
1. It's just hard to type, means you need to bookmark it or something.
2. It's hard to discover them, tells nothing about their content and is overall quite a hassle.
3. If the site changes a server, so will it's IP address, which means you will need to somehow rediscover it.
Sure it can "work" but it will be a really big hassle. And assuming every site about piracy would get their domain revoked, means you wont be able to easily share the IPs. You could make an application for that, but again, it will suffer from the same not easy to use fate.
And what will happen when IPv6 comes?
Australia bans in-wait what?
Americans getting something worse for once?

Well america hasnt banned anything yet, so no, it's not worse. For now.

I'm so nervous right now about this, I know there's a good chance it won't pass but holy hell if it does...

IIRC, the site server is located in US.
IF this passes, I'll be in jail for a few hundred years.

IF this bill passes, over half of internet users will be jailed.
Another reason why it won't pass, we don't have enough room in prison, or the funds, nor do we have enough police force to go out and arrest these hundreds of thousands of people.

Don't drop the soap.
Demand Progress has been keeping me up to date.
[quote] Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi just spoke out against it, and Republican Darrell Issa says it now stands "no chance of passage."
It's been a show of force like no other: More than 700k anti-censorship contacts have been delivered to Congress so far this week, as the Blacklist Bill gets heard in committee.[/quote]

Perhaps we should have payed for all that stuff and not stolen it.

Psh, things are overpriced. That's the reason why piracy will [I]never[/I] stop, no matter what you do about it.
Besides, I can half understand them wanting to stop piracy of the major things. It does hurt sales. Not enough to notice, but in this terribly economy, every cent counts. And when money is short, people become rabid and desperate for any ways to grab money. Sure, things like that have been happening for years, but the worse the money problems get, the worse the festering pile of money grubbers get. Trampling people who need it for REAL reasons, instead of luxury items that most stars get... (Though it is lovely that they tend to donate to charity a lot. It makes it less rotten.)
But not being allowed to sing a song and post it on YouTube or something?
Don't you think that's the least bit ridiculous??
Didn't see this anywhere else(I feel like I'm missing a massive 40 page SOPA thread somewhere....), so I figured I'd post it here.
They found the corporate sponsors of the bill, which includes EA, Nintendo, and Sony.

Big shocker there.
[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;33328830]Psh, things are overpriced. That's the reason why piracy will [I]never[/I] stop, no matter what you do about it.[/QUOTE]I am sorry but overpriced is not a reason to steal. Cars are overpriced, PCs are overpriced, books are overpriced. You don't see me stealing them. And if I did and got caught, I doubt they would let me on "it was overpriced so I stole it" reason.
The only way you can call it stealing is if you can viably prove that there was a loss of income due to piracy. If you can't prove that, which no one can,(all they can say is "we attribute it to piracy") then you really don't have a legitimate argument to stand on.
You cant pirate a computer if it's overpriced, it doesn't work like that.
Still, this thread isn't about what isn't or is stealing. It's about a bill that infringes on human rights and state constitution just to scavenge a couple extra bucks for some greedy corporations who want to monopolize the internet with their rule of law.

What does this have to do with hippies? We all want a free and open internet, man.

Does not matter. They will block it anyways.
I've just realised a major flaw in this; I don't know why I didn't think of this before:
Facebook and Google+ are essentially rivals
Facebook signs up to Google+ and posts illegal content
Google+ gets shut down
Sites are just examples but you get the point. It's stupidly easy to rid of competition.

Except a site of a major corporation won't get shut down, as this bill is there to mainly protect corporations
Google is something even government shouldn't mess with. For all they care, Google could open their own dns with their own domains and move to another country.

Whooa dude, back off man. Can't you see the pattern here? Internet police, streams locked down, pirates punished, the system is like, way corrupt, dude. They're using their infrallographojammers to start the plan, man. You're killing my vibe.

They May take our sites.
But they will never take our Freedom!
Edit:
Turns out they can.

Passing a criminal act like this would be taking away out freedoms, they have been stripping away our freedoms one by one for years.
