SOPA only cuts off DNS of foreign sites (even though idiots who can't read kept saying it would cut off facebook and youtube).

So you would agree with me if I would say that the Wikileaks owners are idiots too for putting their site on black? People need to stop confusing "freedom of speech" with copyright violation. Then on the other hand, the danger of something like SOPA is that it could be used for blocking legit porn sites. Piracy should be dealt with at the source, even if that means taking servers down in Russia. If the Russian authoritities wouldn't want to co-operate on that, cut off Russia from the internet completely. Image what the Russians would do if they owned 95% of the global movie industry and Americans were infringing their copyrights. People need to accept that internet is part of the real world with its real laws, these laws should apply for every little corner of the internet as well.
