How many have made plans for when SOPA or similar passes?

It's my reading of SOPA that it will go after funding of piracy sites. If SOPA is defeated a similar one will take it's place. It will likely include penalties for those who financially support piracy, processors and advertisers. So this will include sponsors linking to piracy sites who are affiliates.

So have you discussed this with a lawyer, partners, or made any plans?

Once it passes I will go through all affiliates and cut those off who don't send traffic and those that do will closely check where the traffic comes from. It could mean some have a lot of hard work ahead.
