> There are still going to be very few Redditors who are not aware of SOPA and its implications, I don't think this is true. Reddit now reaches a very large and wide non techie audience. I have no data, but I'd guess more than half of redditors haven't heard of SOPA.

It's been all over the front page for at least a month, including a (very) popular announcement a month ago that all redditors see, regardless of subscriptions. Besides /r/sopa, there have been top-voted posts in: /r/technology (625k subs) /r/politics (>1M subs) /r/funny (>1M subs) /r/android (100k subs) /r/games (50k subs) /r/gaming (>1M subs) /r/pics (1.25M subs) /r/wtf (900k subs) /r/trees (170k subs) and countless others. I'd be very surprised to find many redditors who haven't heard of it by this point.

  Seeing it is very different to knowing about it, and I'm not just talking about in-depth knowledge. Nobody clicks every link, there are plenty of things I see on the front page of sub-reddits, or HN, that I read the title and don't click. So, how many users have seen SOPA stories and thought "that doesn't interest me"? My guess is quite a lot.
