Poomjit,<div><br></div><div>It is my considered view that this bill, passed, would be the spark that finally fragments the Internet. An endless cycle of activities and developments would follow - incidentally which would defeat its currently envisaged US IP industry interests, in the long term. Indeed, all global internet users have very good reason to be much afraid of the bill's implications on the future internet.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Dear all,<br><br>I'm following all your comments closely. If the Bill is approved, there might cause a lot of problem to my country - Thailand, in two aspects. Firstly, Thai internet users own gTLD domains more than ccLTD - .th. Secondly, Thailand is one of the country that is in the U.S. infringement blacklist.<br>

But in the current US environment where only bad policy ideas have any chance of getting traction, it may be necessary to reconsider. If the only choice is between fiddling while Rome burns and pouring gas on the fire, let them fiddle…maybe some little improvements can be found elsewhere.<br>
