I have an 80 per cent confidence level that SOPA-PIPA will pass later on this year with some amendments. Every major player in the debate believes that foreign piracy represents a threat ( the techno-hipsters argue that piracy poses no threat to the content industries,but their arguments have been rejected by even Google).

I expect that an anti foreign piracy law will pass, with compromises over the safe harbor provisions, which is what Google and the other Silicon Valley companies are fighting hardest about.
