Same here. I've moved most of mine to gandi.net. They are foreign sites now.

Aren't they still applicable to SOPA if they are .com .net .org .us domains such as homeland security taking down domains previous example shows.

This is correct. They're not foreign if the registry is controlled by the US.

Which is why I prefer eu for my own stuff.

Would one also need a non-US registrar to go with that .eu domain?

Right now i'm using Dreamhost, but what would you recommend for a completely non-US solution with decent quality?
