That's the bad part about this. With increasing frequency we are seeing more laws that are criminalizing legitimate users based on the will of powerful lobbies. SOPA was almost completely MPAA/RIAA worded and sponsored by Congressmen many of whom didn't know what the bill was really about but sponsored it none the less when offered a pile of money.

What's even worse is the MPAA admits to trying to influence legislation voting by "donations".

Wikipedia has spoken out and is currently accusing MPAA CEO of corruption
