As briefly mentioned in the article, SOPA proposed DNS-level blacklisting against copyright-infringing websites. But the fact that you are able to choose what DNS server you use almost guarantees that at some point someone would set up a DNS server outside of the US that would bypass these blocks anyways. Savvy users could simply bypass a SOPA-enabled recursive DNS server by pointing their DNS settings to an off-shore recursive DNS server... What would happen to users if an infringer decided to setup a “free, non-SOPA” recursive DNS server for users to use – one that additionally hijacked legitimate banking, ecommerce and business websites, too?
