The title was borrowed from another forum, hence the quotes.

The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) sets up a system through which the US government can blacklist a pirate website from the Domain Name System, ban credit card companies from processing US payments to the site, and forbid online ad networks from working with the site. This morning, COICA unanimously passed the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Interested in CP's thoughts. On the other forums I've seen this on (Average age of one being 17, the other 20), it's been nothing short of outrage.

EDIT - I'm personally for it. It's a little heavy handed and could use a bit of touch up, but I think it's ideas are in the right spot.
