I think you may be attributing motive or position where none really exists. My point was simply that the chief proponent of this presumes that we already agree on what the problem is and that we should therefore focus on finding the solution. I think he's either deluded or disingenuous (perhaps misled or naive? Possible, but doubtful). My personal belief is that any SOPA-like legislation in advance of copyright and patent reform attempts to solve the wrong problems.
