Yes, going after the money is what would curb piracy. But thats not what Hollywood wants.
Whole point of SOPA was to turn the internet into a watered down, boring, monopolistic, cable tv model. Along with cutting off the free flow of information and silencing speech. Not sure why the smaller companies thought they would benefit from a bill like this.
However, The Open Act bill, would stop the flow of money to the pirates, while still keeping the internet open and allowing everyone to compete. But if Hollywood ends up rejecting this bill, or any other future bills that would deal specifically with cutting off the money to pirates (the whole point of piracy=money), then thats when u know Hollywood is full of shit and nothing but a buncha control freaks, bent on turning the internet into crap, so long as they own it...
