This kind of weak-minded opposition actually makes me think that I'd rather see SOPA proceed as-is. If SOPA were amended with some provisions for cargo-cult "due process", most of the corporate opposition would disappear but we'd still be left with the same broken internet.

Actually, it's hard to make a coherent case that it's even possible to police such downloading when universal computing devices and networks exist. The internet community needs to wake up and realize that the copyright cartels (and political groupthink, in general) are their mortal enemies, stop kowtowing to them, and write code to defend themselves (and push these realizations to the masses).
