Thing is, the global companies in question are based within the country that the legislation would cover, thus directly impacting them, and potentially the world. Based on what I know of SOPA/PIPA and how the 'net works, if a site in the US gets blocked in the manner discussed, that block could potentially propagate to non US DNS servers, thus taking it down for other countries as well.
