Why sure they exist. Do you really think that millions of Chinese teenaged boys are going to be stopped effectively in accessing porn sites? That they're not going to find ways to circumvent the blockage, or that some savvy entrepreneur isn't going to develop homegrown content inside the firewalls? The history of pornography shows that the human spirit (Translation here- men jerking off) is not something that is harnessed by bans, edicts or silly laws.
The Commie bastards that censor China are creating the demand for underground cafes, which in turn does reduce their strangle hold of the Chinese. I say fuck the Luddites and control freaks and fuck the horse they rode in on. In this case the "horse" in many cases are the Western companies that have supplied the technology to censor the Chinese. As an example take a look at Nortel development of the "Golden Shield.

Yes- I do hate the book. I hate every book where the solution to some preceived problem is more control. But no I don't hate the author- I just find his theories absurd and dangerous.
As to the NRA, a better title for them might be The National Republican Association.

You can interact with Republic.Com author Cass Sunstein in Princeton University Press's online book forum located at:
http://pup.princeton.edu/sunstein/
I asked Sunstein several questions which he gave less than satisfactory answers to. One of my questions asks him to explain why his web site at the University of Chicago has no links to opposing viewpoints. You might want to read his dodge.
My review also appears in the April Issue of "The Ethical Spectacle" http://www.spectacle.org/
