We have the same story again, and again, and again... No matter if it's called SOPA or if it's wrapped in some other cloth, the intention is the same: Big business wants to preserve its cash cows (interests) by fending off pesky competition.
We think that our representatives need more information, so we educate them. But, as much as I think that is true, at the end of the day they'll vote along their party line, no matter if we educate them or not.
We're fighting with words (educating), big business with money (buying lobbyists). And they are prepared to ruin their vocal opponents, even drive them towards suicide (Aaron Swartz).

Sorry for being pessimistic.
