In order to post on this, reading the links and listening to the videos really make the difference between looking at this proposed legislation from a non-geek congressman who is in the pockets of the special interest groups who want this passing and seeing this for what it really is: a completely misguided effort with no insight as to what the long-term effects will be. Will it even slow down piracy? No.

"Unfortunately, the things a browser does to bypass a criminal site will also defeat SOPA’s scheme for blocking pirate sites. SOPA envisions the AG telling ISPs to block the address of www.piracy.com. So the browsers get no information about www.piracy.com from the ISP’s DNS server. Faced with silence from that server, the browser will go into fraud-prevention mode, casting about to find another DNS server that can give it the address. Eventually, it will find a server in, say, Canada. Free from the Attorney’ General’s jurisdiction, the server will provide a signed address for piracy.com, and the browser will take its user to the authenticated site."

Great. Good move, SOPA. And DNSSEC being disabled won't help, either.
