I wonder whether Couch's legislation was caused by the enormous amounts of online abuse he must have received during his professional football career, where he was once a No. 1 draft pick by the NFL's Cleveland Browns and became one of the biggest busts in franchise history.

In the end, Kentucky based websites would be the only parties to feel the effects of this law.

Most people have multiple email accounts and log on at different access points (IE home, work or free WiFi access points such as Starbucks). There is probably some way around that by using a different email address or constantly changing your IP address through only commenting at public WiFi spots. J.
