You can have all the rules and regulations you like, the net will find a way around them (on a purely technical level).

I honestly don't know the ins and outs of the tech side of the net. However, I do see that the US Government seizes domains, and they were able to put together the arrest for Megaupload in another country. That is enough to tell me that something could be done at some level.
That said, didn't they more or less do a good job of blocking the net in Syria? And as you know, they block a lot of sites here in Thailand. Of course a proxy will get around that, but Joe Public doesn't use a proxy.
My point is, if they really wanted to find a way, I have faith they could.
