so i dont care too much what happens with SOPA because the tech industry is going to create hardware solutions to the piracy problem, at least for the rich.

That doesn't make much sense to me. If you create a tier just for the rich, who have the money to pay for the movies, songs, and software they want and wouldn't wasted their time or take chances downloading pirated content, how does this affect piracy? This is just separating those that pay anyway, from those that pirate.
