So, what if you register your domain to a foreign address and host it on a server abroad? Does the whole business become illegal because foreigners aren't supposed to contribute to internal US political campaigns? And how would you enforce that?

None of these articles take into account the nature of the internet. Perhaps it will not forever be true that the internet perceives censorship as damage and routes around it, but it's awfully hard to see how the FEC can throw that much weight in cyberspace.

They can't, and I think they know this...unless they adopt a "China" style form of Internet censorship. Now I could be wrong, but I don't see this happening, at least in the relatively near future.

In fact, I think the McCain-Feingold act will eventually end up on the scrap heap of unenforced legislation, much like the vast majority of our immigration laws.

I am sick and tired of these little "Mugabe" tin pot dictator Federal judges telling the masses what they must do.
