burn_this_city already mentioned my biggest problem with SOPA. The fact that if any user, not just the site owner or administrators, links to content that contains copyright material then the website can be 'taken down'. It's main method of doing this, as I understand it, will be to establish a system very similar to (in results) the "Great Firewall of China".
Normally, I am all for cracking down on the distribution of copyright materials, but this legislation gives far too much power to far to little people. Its like swatting a fly that has landed on your face with a sledge hammer.
