I'm not up-to-date on most recent amendments or rewriting, but as of some days ago, SOPA made such activity illegal. And if you use a VPN, they don't have to demonstrated what you were accessing. That you were using an encrypted pipe is enough.

As I understand it, the legislation is far more ham-fisted than simply "borking domestic DNS". More or less, it hands the government -- and private parties having sufficient clout -- the proverbial lead pipe with which to beat you.

Step 1: Block access. Step 2: Criminalize circumvention of those blocks.

Of course, enforcement may be selective. But consider who is doing the selection and under what criteria -- both present and future.
