I thought these three parts of the bill were interesting:

It applies only to web sites dedicated to nothing but copyright infringement. The court must see that the site has no other use.

It applies only to foreign sites and not to .com or .net sites.
(in other words it's useful against Chinese and Russian thieves.)

It does require a court order.

In other words, it means that just as a court can already shut down a US based site, the sorry could now block Russians and Chinese thievery sites from US access.

It doesn't sound nearly so bad after I read the bill as opposed to believing whatever an opponent said about it.
