Really? So if some groups is distributing an artist work illegally, they should be free to continue distributing it illegally, saturating the market, undermining the artist ability make a living, indefinitely why the group's off-shore lawyers tie the artist up in court while "defending" their illegal actions?
Do you extend this blanket opposition to temporary injunctions to people selling unsafe counterfeit car parts, dangerous counterfeit medications, and fraudulent financial products?
BTW, I got this press release from some artists unions (I'm a member of a couple) jointly SUPPORTING SOPA and PIPA:

For the record, I disagree with them. I think some new laws and reform may indeed be needed, but not the way SOPA and PIPA are trying to go about it.
