Then say that, don't refer to a bunch of articles that don't support what your're saying and call them evidence? Basically, until we see something about how they are going

It could surely not just be a DNS change at one single point.

Also, you're forgetting the other restrictions being put on sites. Imagine someone posts the logo of some designer brand - say Louis Vuitton or whatever - on this website, and say NirvAnA is on holiday, and as possibly the only person notified, doesn't take any steps to remove it in time.

This website gets all DNS routing blocked. All payment transactions are barred. All search engines drop sc2sea from their listings. The host is ordered to remove the website.

Even if you are completely right Apth, and he is able to change the DNS address to once again be accessible, he has to get a new host (costing money, and there will be reimbursement for the remaining monthly/yearly/whatever service that was paid for), the store and donations that keep the site running are cut off. No new users can arrive here by search engine. And he won't be able to re-register the URL because it won't be released by the SOPA and that URL effectively dies.

Even if the site managed to bounce back at first, I don't think it is possible that it would last too much longer. And this is using the example of a dedicated community site. So many other sites out there don't have dedicated users who, once seeing the SOPA block message, will probably just find an alternative and never think about it again.
