They want to use DNS to censor the Internet? Ooh, great idea!
Wait until they hear that anyone can run a DNS server or just type the IP into their browser. And then tell them about IPv6. And then tell them about countries outside of the US. And then tell them about Tor and VPNs. Omigod, it's like the Internet is too big for the government to censor. OH NOES.
Also, that whole first amendment thing is a major problem. I recall several other attempts to censor the Internet, and they were struck down by the courts. And that was for child porn; this is for movies. If you can't get the courts to censor child porn, you won't get them to censor a couple leaked screeners.
I hope you're right. I think you're probably right. But there is a hell of a lot more money behind blocking leaked screeners then there was behind blocking child porn.
As far as telling them how technology works, please don't. I think the main thing that's saved the internet so far is that the people with the biggest interest in stopping it have no idea how to even begin.
