Not that I'm an expert on it, but didn't they only intend to block port 80 traffic, at least for now, which excludes P2P? They would have blocked every torrent search engine they could have found though, not of course that that would have done ANYTHING, especially to inbuilt search engine protocols such as ed2k.

Copyright lobbyists have a pretty strong influence, it's pretty scary in the US, and how they influenced pulling down of thepiratebay for a short time without legal jurisdiction.

Ugh. Good riddance to the no clean feed. I can stop papering my local cafe now.
