I'm afraid you've got that backwards. SOPA's DNS-blocking domain-seizure provisions apply to all domains except US-based ones like .com, .org and .net. (Those are considered to be under US jurisdiction and can already be seized under current law [0].) Hence the talking-point that it will only affect "rogue foreign sites".

- rmc 15y agoWow that even more crazy, because if they make an order blocking a .fr domain then that only applies in USA, so that domain will probably still resolve in France and other places. But the isps could never block all .fr domains. It would be a pain in the hole to implement.
