I agree. I think the solution to SOPA and PIPA is nothing, not a "lesser evil" or a "compromise". The music labels may die, but I don't think it's the Government's job to save them, just like it's not the Government's job to save the print media against Internet bloggers. I also don't think that there will be less music if the current music labels die. Copyright extensions have become ridiculous, and I think the labels have had their way for way too long in influencing the Government against the public and against the new creators.
I think it's time to be reminded once again of Larry Lassig's TED video:

Also when you watch it, and see the airplane example, think about it how it could've been if they "compromised" on saying "Airplanes are free to pass over properties, but helicopters not". It would've still been just as ridiculous. Perhaps not the perfect analogy, but something to think about.
