The real reason behind SOPA and PIPA has nothing to do with copyright.

There is a site on which people write things that you don't like (the you I am referring to wears a top hat and has a white beard). You infiltrate an agent provocateur which, one way or the other, uploads copyrighted content or links to copyrighted content. After a while, the copyright owner "discovers" the copyright violation and has the site taken down.

Censeroning ideas is a no-no (only "dictatorships" do it) but upholding the copyright is a perfectly decent proposition for a "democracy", isn't it?
