As a student of history, I know power always corrupts. An overly broad law that gives a lot of power to the accuser and throws the presumption of innocence completely out of the windows is, imo, a recipe for disaster.
As an internet user, I worry about the impact this bill will have on a lot of products I use; ssh (could be used to hide the fact you're transferring pirated content), truecrypt (could be used to hide pirated content), icq (could be used to transfer pirated content), wget/curl (could be used to pirate content),...
As someone who does business online, I take note when Google, the Mozilla dev team, Kaspersky Labs, Zynga, Facebook, wikipedia, Twitter, human rights activists, civil liberties groups, people who built the internet like Paul Vixie (BIND) , Jim Gettys (HTTP 1.1) and Mark Andreessen (Netscape), the Electronic Frontier Foundation, AOL, eBay, PayPal, the European Parliament, LinkedIn,... all take the time and make the effort to speak out AGAINST SOPA.
Could go on, but it's late and i need some sleep. I'll be back tomorrow
