Minor adjustment.

If such a law would be accepted then I will declare the USA to be a 3rd world communist country, no better than China.
(Not that me declaring anything would create earthquakes.)

You keep saying "third world"
I don't think that phrase means what you think it means

Yeah "third world" is a little out of place here.
Communism is too, because most communists actually think the internet is for the people as a whole.

I guess it's like fascism online.

A few details is a huge understatement.

I'm going to treat this as a question because what you said is entirely wrong.

Companies with registered copyrights would now have to ability to ask a court to serve an injunction to a DNS server (typically this is your ISP) to have a copyright infringing website's DNS registration dropped. This means that if an injunction was pronounced on, say, Google, that typing "www.google.com" into your browser would serve a "page not found" page. This does not stop you from reaching the site, however, as you can simply change which DNS server you use or type in 74.125.115.147 instead.

The major worry DNS server experts are afraid of is that TCP/IP does not specify what happens after the first DNS server your browser tries does not have the page you're looking for. Some browsers continue to try alternative DNS servers until it finds a definite response, which can be exploited to deliver you to lookalike sites or that sort of thing.

EDIT: Oh and this only applies to American DNS servers, obviously, so if you pointed your computer to a DNS server out of the States you wouldn't notice a single difference.

Not Australia or New Zealand.

I don't want to live here.

I like the idea of those. But I think England is okay. It's like a metropolis. I'm used to those kinds of places, I live in one of the top ten biggest cities in Murrika.

Finland is pretty nice, if you don't mind the hard-to-learn language.
Atleast I think it's hard for an outsider to learn. That's what I've heard, anyways.

EDIT: Nowait you should go to Switzerland. That's the best place.
