Hey bugs,

While I agree SOPA should not get off the ground (and It wont), there is already a multitude of apps and browser extensions out to bypass the DNS blocking.

It will be simply a matter of switching browser, should SOPA be deployed fully (for the weird people that still use IE :S).

That's not my issue. I realise that it is possible to deal with these measures. There are two things I'm worried about. First it is those websites that will just shut down because it is easier than fighting the government. Second this will effect everyone, not just us. We will be able to find the tools we need to get around these measures. The majority of the internet's users either will not know how or will not be bothered doing so.
