what will happen this year

[Leanne]

Sorry if I sounded like an ignorant moron -- I know that changing the search engine isn't going to make banned US sites magically appear again, but what I meant is that I can still access google.com.au as a search engine even if for some reason google.com is shut down. I'd have more trouble with yahoo as here it's au.yahoo.com, still a .com site, but I'd imagine these larger corporations would take great pains to ensure that their sites themselves weren't subject to SOPA's crap. I'm not sure about .org, I think that actually might be controlled by an Irish company. Facebook and other social networking sites would be wise to simply relocate the hell away from the US -- looks like Europe might get a virtual lifeline out of its debt crisis.
