even without SOPA or PIPA, the US has already done extraterritorial intellectual property enforcement (ref: US and Elcom v Sklyarov [2001])

this US attempt comes at the heels of the french HADOPI

in essence, US wants the ISP and/or web host sites and/or the site itself (e.x. tsikot.com) to be their police or otherwise be held liable in the same degree as the infringer.

this sends a chilling message to sites for sharing, social networking or foruming

that is the real objectionable matter
