grellas - Thanks for one of the best HN comments I've read in a long time.
Do you have thoughts on a solution more reasonable than SOPA to enforce copyright overseas? If I set up piratedwindows7downloads.com in China (or Sealand), it's hard to see how I can be held accountable for my infringement via the DMCA.
(To clarify: I don't think SOPA is the right solution to this problem.)

The only 'real' way to deal with this is some SOPA-style blacklist... or to copy Belarus[1], and require all sites that US citizens access to be hosted within the US... or to deploy trade sanctions against China (though I somehow doubt that the effects of the piracy in question would out-weigh the effects of the trade sanctions).
