OK did you think about it?

If this law fails the US Government won't give up and leave the Internet alone. It will start to think up new laws and they will be more stringent. Don't use the Bush anti spam farce as an example. Spam costs the US little. Counterfeiting costs billions.

So what could the next law be?

Maybe a law about financial dealings. Visa and Mastercard can't process for counterfeit sites. Or any company associated with them.

Maybe advertising. AFF or US affiliates can't send traffic to sites involved with counterfeiting.

Be sure laws, rules and regulations are coming to the Internet. Pray that this one works so they don't have to go to the next stage.

Yes there's always the risk they go on further if this one works. But not the same risk.

So all those hoping this law fails. Think again.
