Regardless of the laws, the corporations can also decide to make this sort of a communication standard. Little example, Youtube blocks anything that contains Sony Music's songs when you are connecting to Youtube from Germany - while the content may well be watchable elsewhere.

That means they effectively use DNS/IP information to filter content now. Of'course that is not on the same level as COICA/ACTA yet. But once all ISPs are integrated into large corporations the result will be the same... this process is inevitable in a certain degree. And once everything is regulated to pieces, we will have what television is today, a corporatist money machine that keeps the viewers/participators in general more dull and compliant than educated and informed.
