There already are "constructive alternatives" to SOPA and PIPA. They're called Spotify, iTunes, Rdio, Netflix, Hulu, etc

They aren't "constructive" from the point of view of the encumbants, who incidentally, have the largest capital for lobbying.

If we the public can somehow band together, the total lobbying power gained is actually higher, but obviously, people dont give a shit until it personally affects them. Hence, if the encumbants can slowly tweak the law, one painless step at a time, they will win.
