The author of SOPA is a copyright violator 
While it's possible that he authored his own political website, I would strongly suspect this is a proxy blame.  I am all for blaming Lamar Smith as much as the next guy.  My issue is assigning a state to an individual when another individual performed the state changing action.  The furthest it is fair to place that assignment is shared with the entire group.<p>edit, apparently downvoting is the same as disagreeing here too.  sigh. guess this teaches me to share my honest thoughts and to continue chasing integers.
