There are two troublesome points: 1) It is an offense to give advice on how to circumvent the financial blocks. Hypothetically speaking, if you suggested one use Antigua or Canada to move funds - you are eligible for a fine and possibly jail time. 2) There is language on ISP blocking in the bill. Most people get their internet through monopolies like comcast. I doubt comcast will refuse govt requests/demands to shut out party poker, full tilt, etc. Dial-up is a potential way around but who is going to drop back to dial-up after using broadband access?
