Additionally, the lobbying groups aren't about to stop lobbying suddenly. It just means that they need to try harder. I wouldn't be shocked in the least to find some well funded senator trying to slide some of the language from this bill into a "must pass" 10,000 page budget bill.

What's scary enough is that some of this will get through in some way or another eventually.




So perhaps the best way to appease the lobbying companies would be to pass SOPA, but remove the most destructive pieces first. Perhaps narrowing the definition of an infringing or "rogue" site would be a good start.
