(Which is why I would look for signs that Congress will seek to make ISPs responsible for political speech, a la the Chinese actions. Not this year, not next, but someday. Except it won't be explicitly a law about political speech, it'll be something about dangerous information, safety of the children, etc.)
I wouldn't be suprised if you start seeing ISP's closely monitoring the activity of it's users RSN. I would imagine all it will take is the SPA or COS bringing a few ISP up on criminal charges under the new Copyright laws as accesories (or co-conspiritors). A couple of "show trials" and the rest will toe the mark. - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
