The funny thing is most of his on-line sites would get shut down with SOPA, seeing that his journalist plagiarise a good percentage of the articles they publish.

I know this first hand, my friend and I have a football blog where we posted an exclusive video where he managed to interview a footballer, the next day The Sun took the video and splashed it on the front page of their sports sections with out permission or attributing it to our site.

So with SOPA would I get to shut down thesun.co.uk?

No, because if you made a good faith claim that thesun.co.uk exists primarily to infringe copyrights, the judge would lock YOU up for perjury. What you can do, right now, is sue them for copyright infringement. That's already illegal, of course.

Does SOPA actually require that you state that claim under penalty of perjury? I didn't think it did, but I might be wrong or I might not have seen the latest version or whatever.

I've also never heard of a case where the analogous DMCA perjury provision was actually enforced, so I wonder sometimes.
