I think you must be thinking of a different law or bill, because SOPA doesn't say anything of the sort.


Is that your opinion as a judge or lawyer who has studied the law in depth, someone with a reasonable law background that's actually read it, someone that just read it, or someone that's read a summery of it from a unbiased source?

Or just your guess based on hearsay?

PS: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.3261:

SEC. 204. AMENDMENTS TO SENTENCING GUIDELINES.

(H) ensure reasonable consistency with other relevant directives and Guidelines and Federal statutes; Note: You can't actually define what this means even if you read all relevant legal precedents, because it's allows monkey patching of the law by these guys http://www.ussc.gov/ an independent agency in the judicial branch of government.
