    wikipedia is available through netbooks and mobile devices and google is clearly up.

    SOPA is a mess because it uses DNS blacklisting which would effectively take the site offline worldwide. the entire site…offline…for the entire world…because of one instance of copyright infringement. and site owners would be responsible for user-generated content. so suppose i feel like wrecking yeshiva world, all i would have to do, in theory, is post some copyrighted material in the coffee room and YWN would be in violation of SOPA.

    also messing with the DNS is not recommended. DNS defines what your web address means–to which IP address on the internet it refers. so suppose a site gets blocked and that IP address becomes inactive due to underuse, and someone else picks it up. suppose google.com owns 24.187.39.139 and google.com routes to that IP address. now suppose google.com gets blocked. give it six months and that IP address will become available again by the ISP and get passed on to lets say theyeshivaworld.com. so the ISP allocates the web host that IP address and it happens to come to theyeshivaworld.com. remember, google originally had that address but now theyeshivaworld has it.

    but SOPA can only affect the US DNS list, so when someone in israel types in google.com…what he’d get would be theyeshivaworld.com. no one controls global DNS…each country has their way of managing it, but theyre all interconnected. when you try calling up a chinese website, your computer contacts DNS servers in china to recall the IP address to which the URL refers, but if the two countries have different versions of the DNS list, which can happen as a result of SOPA, then you can get some interesting and incredibly annoying conflicts.

    I don’t think the law is called Popa, but I guess I can’t say for sure.
