I suspect the nature of the material will change on some pages, but I'm not sure how many are registered and/or hosted over seas. They are not likely to change, nor is the practice. By passing the amendment with no debate it raises question of what will happen first, "Will free speech advocates challenge it or will the porn-napping business be exported overseas?
