That is a pretty stupid assumption.
I fight piracy on-behalf of programs I promote, (for content I don't even fucking own) but I don't support SOPA.
It's like killing an ant with a nuclear bomb. Handing this type of control over to the government is NEVER a good idea. Name one government agency / run service that operates fairly or efficiently?
Giving the government the power to control what sites ISPs can allow access to is a VERY bad idea, period.
Imagine a wrongful complaint against your site by a competitor and the government blocks it, without due process. Imagine spending the next 3 years in court trying to get it back online. Imagine if you lived in another country and all of sudden in an instant you lose all U.S. traffic, imagine the process involved of trying to get that traffic back.
This bill scares the shit out of me, it has the potential to kill this industry twice as fast as tubes and forums.
Today, it's for piracy, tomorrow it's for lewdness or free speech that creates fear and panic, etc. Once you hand this type of control over to the government there is no telling what they will use it for.
