"""I'm against SOPA as much as the next guy, but it's a moot issue. Browsers will just release new versions that use alternate DNS systems or get past any 'blocks'."""

I really can't stand this kind of stance.

Technical workarounds are NOT AN ANSWER to law/political problems.

At best, they are a kludge.

At worst, they get illegal, and some people end up in jail.

It's nice to have them, but only as a last refuge.

The number one priority is to have a sensible legal/political system, not to work around it.
