What would you change about the representative form of government?
Any government consisting of representatives of the people will end up proposing and debating laws that certain segments of the population sees as "bad" at times.
It's a test of how well the government works if the people can voice their opinion and have an effect on Congress's debate. If this happens and curtails the law, then government is working.

At this point, I'd probably ditch it as unworkable, and replace it with a more meritocratic, less corruptible form.

No, it isn't. SOPA is an obvious exercise in moving the Overton Window. The bill(s) that follow it -- including those that will eventually pass -- will seem innocuous by comparison, regardless of their content.
