seriously these guys only like copyright law when it benefits them and allows them to control everybody else but heaven forbid if they have to inhibited by it.
your problem is that you view governments as a single entity with one goal or focus. governments are big things that often have parts of it working against other parts of it. One agency might recognize the importance of restricting copyright while another agency only listens to copyright holders. You could even have different parts of the same agency working against each other.
SOPA is kind of like. If new York was overrun with cockroaches and we decided we needed to get rid of them, so we drop a nuke on NY. It doesn't kill the cockroaches but it does a whole lot of collateral damage.

I'd like to see anybody who has lost their job due to piracy.
unless you count the people who can't get a good job because they had to drop out of school to pay for a settlement when the RIAA and MPAA sued them.
