    SOPA breaks DNSSEC

    One thing not mentioned is that in addition to the whole VPN to a foreign country/use a foreign DNS issue, SOPA actually breaks DNSSEC in exactly the same way that cyber criminals do when they want to redirect you to their account details stealing server.

    Its a bit technical but Paul Vixie (major contributor to DNS bind etc.) explains this quite clearly here: http://www.circleid.com/posts/20121012_dns_policy_is_hop_by_hop_dns_security_is_end_to_end/
