its related to net neutrality & the ability of ISPs to discriminate against certain traffic.

even if SOPA fails, the ISPs & hollywood will find a hardware solution, which piracy will be marginalized to slower bandwidth. Maybe thats not a big deal today. Once HD content is prevalent on tablets/phones/TVs, the consumer will expect a certain level of quality, & pirated content will live on only on dated hardware.
