  "Kill one to warn a hundred", it seems. I'm kind of interested to see how much others will voluntarily shut down. Though another side of me doesn't.

  They have plenty of servers overseas. They'll be fine so long as those countries don't also do the same as America.

  
  
  I guess you haven't heard about ACTA.
  
  39 countries, including the 27 of the European Union (that would be every single one of them, by the way), the United States, Japan, etc

  No, I've heard of it. I'm just commenting that they have servers in places that don't support ACTA. Or at least, that is what I've heard.

  They'd still see that you're accessing them on your end. So, it wouldn't do you much good unless you paid for a server to use as a VPN tunnel to encrypt your traffic. But that would slow down everything you do and it'd cost you money. Not everyone's gonna do that. Most people won't.
