PS The IP theft is a much more serious issue that Congress should be focused on, rather than involving itself into other countries' censorship issues (while they leap ahead of the USA.) The best guarantee of promoting global Democracy in a non-intrusive way, is to remain focused on global economic viability where Democracy is naturally embraced when every country is reasonably doing well, otherwise below a certain per capita, Democracy fails because the "freedom" to eat food is more desirious than starving while you have the "freedom" to talk.
