IMO the only way to prevent SOPA passing would be Google/Facebook/Wikipedia going the "nuclear option" and putting up a click through page - short of that I doubt something this widely supported would get stopped.

#19No surprise about any of the Dems really: Piracy, copyright, and related issues have been issues for them for a long time, primarily due to their connections with the entertainment industry.
