The stupidity of the whole act... simply move the domain and its services outside of the US.

Then, it's not covered by the Act. So, unless they put this verbiage in ACTA, its scope will be so limited as to be ineffective.

It is though. What this act would do is set up a blacklist of sites that U.S. ISPs would be required to block, regardless of country.

From what I'm reading, it's asking the domain registrar to disable the domain.

If you register with a registrar outside the US, they aren't required to comply.

I also see this part...

There is a whole clause for "nondomestic domains" which says that isps and banks have to block it

(i) a service provider...or other operator of a domain name system server shall take ... steps [to] prevent a domain name from resolving ..

DNS isn't quite that flexible in terms of blacklists.

So, are they expecting IETF to re-engineer the DNS system to comply?

Not DNS, it would be ISP filtering. As-in, the don't pass you traffic from that domain. Like China does now.

No, it was specific.. it said they had to prevent them from resolving to an IP.

The only place to do that is in DNS.

Of course, the act might allow resolution if the IP is unreachable, but that doesn't follow with the exact verbiage.

Figures, this is something by Feinstein on behalf of Hollywood.

Yet another censorship-in-the-name-of-the-entertainment-business thing.

The sole problem with this bill is that the take down is based solely on an allegation, not actual guilt.

So, effectively, it throws out innocent until proven guilty.

Going back, it says if the domain is domestic, the domestic registrar must lock the domain down.

If the domain is outside the US, the DNS resolution must be blocked.
