SOPA and PIPA in their latest incarnations are dead -- the Internet spoke yesterday.

The advertising enforcement part of this bill is a joke -- many ad networks are not in the USA now, those remaining will possibly leave, so there is no way to enforce the law with them if it was enacted.
The burden on billing processors is a possibility but their additional scrutiny with "no liability for their actions if they reasonably believe" will create more problems for legitimate businesses than it will ever stop piracy.
Since the US Navy has been unable to stop a few Somali pirates in years what makes you think that some US Law will stop millions of Internet Pirates?
