TL;DR: if media company convinces court that a site is for piracy,
they can get it completely blacklisted by US DNS servers & registrars,
and blacklisted from any payment systems.

Obvious next steps:
a) they remove other undesirable things from the 'net (e.g. porn,
pro-pot advocacy, political dissidents, hackers...)
b) we completely blacklist US-based registrars, DNS servers, & payment systems

Serious shit, yo.
