    The treaty’s goal is to ban counterfeit goods and online piracy by requiring Internet Protocol servers and individual websites to monitor and prosecute suspected copyright infringements. But the goal comes packaged with some collateral damage: infringements on individual’s civil rights and the creation of a system responsible for widespread, international online censorship.
    Its the same thing as SOPA and PIPA

    It will probably take a long time to have effect (if any) on internet gambling.

    They could require your ISP to block 'illegal' sites at the DNS level.

    It's all good it's going to lead to the Govt teaming with legit gaming companies here
    and giving us fair online gaming. Obama has already started the wheels in motion for
    poker. I have said this the day he came out with the poker announcement buy MGM
    stock they have invested the most money into this and will be a leader and possibly
    get the first contract at announcement time MGM was 9.50 they have crawled up to
    over 13 already once its final bingo!

    The only down side about having legit gaming is taxes....but its better than having the underworld
    steal billions of our money.

    You lose you lose , you win you lose (taxes). Not a big deal if you don't make much other income however ...

    if government has control i do not assume online gambling will be fair. what if they rig sports games? they will certainly rig poker.

    Conjures up pictures of Obama dressed up like Will Smith in Bad Boys II in black swat gear and clear Oakleys scaling down a wall with a Tec 9 and a Glock, kicking in a door, and giving Osama a quick double tap in the forehead...laughable.
