SOPA approaches the problem of content piracy with a broad brush, lights that brush on fire, and soaks the whole web in gasoline. If passed, SOPA will allow corporations to block the domains of websites that are &#8216;capable of&#8217; or &#8216;seem to encourage&#8217; copyright infringement. Once a domain is blocked, nobody can access it, unless they&#8217;ve memorized the I.P. address. Under SOPA, everything from your grandma&#8217;s knitting blog to mighty Google is guilty until proven innocent.
