It's a dangerous precedent in my opinion, once blocking starts they will keep adding more and more sites that do or say something someone somewhere doesn't like, in ten years time the internet could basicly be cable tv with official channels only.
Of course I'm sure by then some seriously big bad Darknets will have sprung up and the Governments won't be able to keep track of them or what goes on at all. There are already a few primitive ones about already where drugs and worse are openly sold safely.
In conclusion I think it'd a bad thing for everyone including governments and publishers because they are going to lose the ability to keep an eye on things and know who is trying to do what.
