Do you think GFY is dedicated to piracy? This is a business forum meant for networking between adult webmasters, so the answer would be "no".
On the other hand, do you think sites like The Pirate Bay or PureTnA are dedicated to piracy? TPB offers complete software suites that typically cost thousands of dollars, and nothing else. PTnA offers full site rips of content that costs webmasters hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions of dollars to produce.
Since SOPA only targets foreign websites dedicated to piracy, why do people keep offering this straw-man argument as a rationale for being against SOPA? It seems to me this is their weak-sauce plan to continue piracy unabated.
