Unused blog | Yes piracy is bad, but the scope of SOPA and PIPA are far more reaching that just trying to limit piracy. Coke can sitting on your counter behind you in a youtube video? Pepsi can sue youtube and take down your video. That’s one example of how ridiculous the parameters of the bill are. And the DNS based banning can already be circumvented. Firefox already has a plugin to allow you to bypass SOPA restrictions.
