SOPA wont work exactly like they want it too, no matter what restrictions governments put on the internet, people will find a way around. Take a look at the Great Firewall of China, people shouldnt be able to bypass that but they do. Imagine that there are a number of central sites that store large numbers of "pirated" files, and known sites that specialize in linking to those downloading sites (perhaps torrent-related, perhaps not). The US knows where these sites are, and uses SOPA powers to remove them all from the DNS, and to order Google (plus other search engines under US jurisdiction) to remove these sites from their search results.
But the sites aren't actually shut down, only their names and search results have been removed.
If you could find these sites, you could still access the files, through use of IP addresses rather than domain names.

Now lets imagine that a large number of sites unrelated to pirated files, but anti-censorship, decided that they'd each list IP address links to "forbidden" material at those sites (perhaps in a tiny font at the bottom of their home pages) open to Google and other search engine spidering.
We would have a vast, distributed index that could be used to access censored materials despite government DNS takedown orders and the removal of primary linking sites from search results.

Victory! Boycott forces GoDaddy to drop its support for SOPA
By Timothy B. Lee | Published December 23, 2011 4:05 PM

Under intense pressure from an Internet-wide boycott, domain registrar GoDaddy has given the open Internet an early Christmas present: it's dropping its support for the Stop Online Piracy Act. The change was announced in a statement sent to Ars Technica:

Go Daddy is no longer supporting SOPA, the "Stop Online Piracy Act" currently working its way through U.S. Congress.

"Fighting online piracy is of the utmost importance, which is why Go Daddy has been working to help craft revisions to this legislation—but we can clearly do better," Warren Adelman, Go Daddy's newly appointed CEO, said. "It's very important that all Internet stakeholders work together on this. Getting it right is worth the wait. Go Daddy will support it when and if the Internet community supports it."

GoDaddy's embarrassing climbdown took barely 24 hours. The boycott started on Thursday on reddit (an Ars sister site), but it quickly spread to the broader Internet. GoDaddy's competitors began offering special deals with promo codes like "SopaSucks" to entice GoDaddy switchers.

Initially, GoDaddy was defiant. In a statement emailed to Ars Technica Thursday evening, the company said "Go Daddy has received some emails that appear to stem from the boycott prompt, but we have not seen any impact to our business."

But this reaction only enraged GoDaddy's customers. And evidently, the impact on their business began to be more obvious on Friday.

GoDaddy claims that during negotiations over SOPA, the company "fought to express the concerns of the entire Internet community and to improve the bill" by pushing to make the bill's provisions less onerous. But now the company has been forced to concede that the bill's authors did not adequately address the Internet community's concerns.

"In changing its position, Go Daddy remains steadfast in its promise to support security and stability of the Internet," the company's Friday statement reads. GoDaddy says it has removed past postings expressing support for the legislation from its website.

if they stopped illegal downlaoding , all the internet providers would be inundated in people changing plans to smaller download limits , and therefore cheaper plans , the IP companies would stand to lose billions of dollars , this is why they give no fark for any of it , in a way , they are fighting for our rights to freedom of information provided by the internet , to keep their steady and strong income safe.
