Other impacts include forcing open wifi providers, such as cafes, bars, libraries, etc, to close their networks or face crippling penalties if someone downloads copyrighted material. The Bill also gives unprecedented powers to the Government and State to block and censor websites it (or big business) doesn’t like and take over domain names where it sees fit.

I'm sure there are a lot of domain investors in the US and outside the UK in that extension that can't influence the politicians. Also I read a blog post today from the UK that made it sound that it already passed. I don't live in the UK and don't have .UK domain but if any investors do they better keep on top of this Andrew

As long as they regulate .us which is USA cctld it's OK. Gtld's however are GLOBAL extensions and should not be regulated by any particular government. “I can see government intervention coming in the U.S. as well.”
