Piratebay has said that this probably won't even effect them and that they already know of ways around it. But that they fear for democracy.

This is precisely why SOPA/PIPA is brain-dead levels of stupid. Like, anyone with even a minimal level of expertise on how the internet works will tell you this won't stop piracy because almost all pirates are tech saavy enough to go with any of half a dozen workarounds (ranging from as simple as "just type in the IP address" and "just use a foreign DNS"). All this stops is casual users and forcing every site with users to heavily censor them.

Oh, and this is ignoring things like being able to run false flag operations to shut down any site you don't like.
