Moreover. Do any of the idiots cheering this on really think it will have a material effect. From my understanding the Government has the power to do this currently only to sites whose servers are hosted in the US, thus breaking US law by their determination. Furthermore the US may control the DNS but they will not go about seizing domains from sovereign nations.
So at the end of the day pirates will do what pirates are doing, move to alternate TLD's (.cd for instance) and host in less developed nations. But, legitimate US businesses in risky categories such as ADULT may find themselves on the end of similar measures in years to come.
