Online privacy is going to be an even bigger issue if things like this keep up.
For privacy's sake, I use an add-on for Firefox called AnonymoX (http://www.anonymox.net). As the name suggests, it allows you to browse and comment anonymously. It lets you choose from a bunch of IP addresses, including ones in US, England, and the Netherlands.
The only problem with AnonymoX is that it causes you to automatically get logged you out all the sites that require sign-ins, since you don't maintain a continuous IP address. The way I avoid constant sign-ins is to use a second browser for all these types of sites.
