Thats almost like saying, PVR's should be banned as users have the
ability to forward through them and skip advertisements. Or other
channels must be banned, so if you are watching serial XYZ on channel
ABC, you must continue to watch it including the ads and not skip it.
However, you look at it, if you try to block users, people will just
drive traffic away from that site as it is no longer considered as
"compliant". Compliancy states that there must be a norm which all users
have equal and open access. Give it time, I'm sure someone in the US
will sue the website owner on the grounds of non compliance, or
inaccessible information, or something similar where you are being biased.
If you want to see something stupid, visit hdfcbank.com and check out
netsafe and then login. It says IE as minimum requirements. Honestly I
dont see the reason for this, but yet its there. According to this, if
you use Internet Explorer, you should use a netsafe card, but at the
same time you need IE ? See a pattern of stupidity? Its like if you want
to use the site, dont use a browser thats safe, however, you should use
a netsafe card if you want to be safe.
Anyways, if there are any other sites that stop you, you could just
simply change the user agent in about:config. What are they going to do
next? Block Internet Explorer?.. hehe
