there is a huge difference. One is taking away natural rights of men and the other is trying to stop piracy. SOPA is not a bad idea, it is just to vague and has potential to do bad things to the internet.
But it doesnt matter. it isnt going to pass. companies and lawmakers are noticing that their support will die if they and this bill are ever named in the same sentence

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), is a proposed law (bill) of the United States of America, to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. Proposals include barring advertising networks and payment facilities from conducting business with allegedly infringing websites, barring search engines from linking to the sites, and requiring Internet service providers (ISP) to block access. The bill would criminalize streaming of content, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
In practice user-content websites such as Youtube would be greatly effected and websites like Etsy, Flickr and Vimeo all seemed likely to shut down if the bill becomes law. Opponents say the legislation would enable law enforcement to take down an entire domain due to something posted on a single blog, arguing, an entire online community could be punished for the actions of a tiny minority. In a 1998 law, copyright owners are required to request the site to remove the infringing material within a certain amount of time. SOPA would bypass this "safe harbor" provision by placing the responsibility for detecting and policing infringement onto the site itself.
Lobbyists claim it protects the intellectual property market and corresponding industry, jobs and revenue. The US president, and legislators suggest it may kill innovation. Representatives of the American Library Association state the changes could encourage criminal prosecution of libraries. Other opponents say that requiring search engines to delete a domain name begins a worldwide arms race of unprecedented censorship of the Web.
Opponents claim that it violates the First Amendment,[2] is Internet censorship,[3] will cripple the Internet,[4] and will threaten whistle-blowing and other free speech actions.[2][5] A number of protest actions were organized, including petition drives and boycotts

Pornography or porn is the explicit portrayal of sexual subject matter for the purposes of sexual arousal and erotic satisfaction.
Pornography may use any of a variety of media, ranging from books, magazines, postcards, photos, sculpture, drawing, painting, animation, sound recording, film, video, or video game. However, when sexual acts are performed for a live audience, by definition it is not pornography, as the term applies to the depiction of the act, rather than the act itself. Thus, portrayals such as sex shows and striptease are not classified as pornography.
A pornographic model poses for pornographic photographs. A pornographic actor or porn star performs in pornographic films. In cases where limited dramatic skills are involved, a performer in pornographic films may be called a pornographic model.
A distinction is often made between erotica (the portrayal of sexuality with high-art aspirations, focusing also on feelings and emotions) and pornography (the depiction of acts in a sensational manner, with the entire focus on the physical act, so as to arouse quick intense reactions).[1][2]
Pornography has often been subject to censorship and legal restraints on publication on grounds of obscenity. Such grounds and the very definition of what is or is not pornography have differed in different historical, cultural, and national contexts.[3]
With the emergence of social attitudes more tolerant of sexuality and with more explicit definitions of obscenity in law, an industry for the production and consumption of pornography arose in the latter half of the 20th century. The introduction of home video and the Internet saw booms in a porn industry that today generates billions of dollars a year worldwide.

It's a problem, because a hell of a lot of extremely useful/popular websites (Youtube, Google, Wikipedia, Facebook, etc.) were made in the U.S. by U.S. citizens, and therefore must conform to the laws of the country they live in. That means Youtube, Google, Wikipedia, Facebook WILL NOT EXIST because of the amount of copy written information that passes through them every day. You WILL be affected.

The bill received a bipartisan backing of 12 members in congress. Let's do some basic math. 535 - 12 = 523 members of congress left to go. The bill never even reached the floor, and everyone is acting like America tried to steal the internet.
On a side note, its pretty damn funny to see how retarded foreigners on funnyjunk are when it comes to America's political process.
