To me this is one of the rare cases where technology really is the answer (or rather: where technology dictates the answer).
SOPA-proponents can pass any bills they want, nothing can push the cat back into the bag.
Filesharing is easy now. People like it. The tech is out there and can't be blocked (see magnet links). Even if the laws pass; for every file-sharing "terrorist" they put in jail there are 10 more. And they're losing mindshare with every action they take. Bills like SOPA are merely delaying the inevitable, they can't turn back time.
Of course that doesn't mean we shouldn't front them, as we are.
