White house, supreme court, how about anything from the government?

Why not take it a step further and limit the lobbyists and bad telcos?

Oh I thought about that, but how are you going to target the lobbyists and bad telcos without harming actual customers on those providers who may very well be against this whole debacle.

Government branches likely have a block of IPs while lobbyists I doubt are registered like that :)

I'm sure the lobbyists for the music and film industry can be uniquely identified by their IP addresses. You could at least do them.

Call me a hawk, but I think it makes more sense for content provider who wont be buying their way into the fast lane to pre-emptively rate limit all customers of the major US ISPs.

Content providers that depend on the US may want to synchronize on specific day of the week to limit each ISP, for example Comcast Thursday, while foreign providers can conservatively cut off all of the US so they don't have to worry about missing any future pay networks..

Came here to post this, you beat me to it!
