I did a bit more fishing around the Electronic Frontier Foundation about the issue of piracy. They are not advocating doing nothing but seem to be tentatively going for some alternative legislation: the Online Protection & ENforcement of Digital Trade Act (OPEN) which appears to be in the process of being chewed on by a congressional committee.

Some links about it are here:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/1...-open-internet
http://www.keepthewebopen.com/
And, of course Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPEN_Act

Anyone want to enlighten me on which of OPEN and SOPA are better or worse?
