Well that's the first time I've been called a shill...

It isn't a non point though, when sites begin disappearing for hosting or linking to content the government doesn't approve of I think you may feel differently. It's like the legal justification for assassinating American citizens, sure it most likely occurred prior, but legal justification for doing it doesn't bode well for the future.

And how do administrative regulations for ISPs equate to additional legal power to the government?

I also didn't call you a shill. I said you sounded like one because your point seems intentionally obtuse.

Because case law prevented them from censoring before period, now they have the green light. What recourse do we have as citizens if the censor something that isn't even technically illegal? It will be just gone. What's to stop Sony from calling up comcast and having a torrent site taken down?
