The obvious work around is off shore hosting.

Wonder if they plan to block traffic from “offending” sites as well? That is the real question.

I’ve heard Limewire was shutdown.

Won't work. The US owns all the domain name servers running the Internet.

The problem is that all .com and .net names are under US jurisdiction. They could keep their hosting, but nobody would be able to get to them under "blahblah.com" because the link from blahblah.com to their IP addresses will be severed.

The solution is to get addresses under a two-letter country code domain of a country that hasn't bowed down to the copyright cartel.
