You’re absolutely right. However, SOPA is not the solution, as it’s responses are too broad and clumsy to be effective. It’s a “Spray and Pray” method.

If I may continue Paul’s comparison to “stolen goods on a truck”: Picture a mall parking lot with 50 cars in it. Off in 1 corner, there’s a group of guys selling stolen DVD players out of their trunk. The police show up; this parking lot has been known for this sort of thing to happen, and today is no exception. They then impound EVERY CAR in the lot, without warrant or court order or even an announcement to the people shopping inside that their car has been towed. When asked, the police say they had “reasonable suspicion” that where were more stolen goods in the cars.

Now, they may have caught that crook they knew about, and let’s say 4 more they didn’t know about. But what about the other 45 cars? They were doing nothing besides parking their car in a lot that a handful of people happen to use for illegal activities. Is this necessary? Is this right? Should these people be punished simply because someone else was using that parking lot to do something illegal?

And what about the roads leading to the parking lot? Surely they’re not included in this, are they? Wrong. The police set up road blocks and anyone who attempts to drive into this lot also have their cars impounded, since they might also be supporting this theft! They could be thieves too, or at least helping the thieves! They can’t be trusted either.

But at least we caught 5 bad guys, right? Not so fast. We said they got their CAR, but what about the people actually doing the illegal activity? Well, those guys selling the DVD players saw the cops coming from across the lot, so they just packed up their goods and left before the police arrived. Now, they’re selling the same goods out of the trunk of another car across town, as if nothing ever happened.

What does this mean for SOPA? If you replace “cars” with “Internet users”, “Parking lots” with “websites” (Flickr, Tumblr, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, Wordpress… basically ANY site that allows you to upload your own content), “roads” with “links”, and “Xboxes” with “Copyrighted materials and IP”, that’s basically SOPA’s strategy in a nutshell.

So no, it’s not OK to steal goods off a truck, just as it’s not OK to download pirated software. But SOPA is not the answer. It is going after a problem that requires quick reflexes and precision, and using a sawed off shotgun instead. It will punish innocent people while the bad guys find easy, currently-in-existance work arounds.
