Would that actually protect you against this law?
You are hosting material that US-based organisations have valid copyright claims to in the US. What is to stop them using SOPA to prevent access to MobileRead from the US to prevent the illegal download of those materials?
If I pick a random country in the world that has no copyright legislation, and host a server offering downloads of current movies, I wouldn't be breaking the law of my hosting country, but would expect to be targetted by this legislation.
