Actually, i think of it as a little legal bomb put in to invalidate the entire law... it will never fly in the courts (after all, a domain name isn't a brand, it is just like a phone number according to NetSol)... I sometimes think laws like that are passed just to make sure that the court has some reason to snag them, sort of like passing the buck without looking like you are passing the buck.

Get the senate to pass the same, get the president to sign, give it some lead time, get a first case, pass the lower courts, get to the supreme court, well... COPA took 4 years...

Er, uh, I wouldn't quote NetSol as an authority (on anything!).
