I haven't actually read the text of SOPA, but I have this amusing fantasy of Anonymous having planted a congressional staffer to do a global search-and-replace through the entire law. Then, when it passes, the following can occur:
EvilMegaCorp : Remove this rogue domain from your DNS immediately.
DNS : Sorry, we're not going to do that.
EvilMegaCorp : But you are legally required to, per SOPA!
DNS : Actually, SOPA only requires us to de-link rouge websites. The Engrish-branded knockoff Asian cosmetics industry has really been decimated by this.

EvilMegaCorp : << explodes in a fit of pique >>
Sigh. A nerd can dream...
