Interesting facts, but if SOPA passes in the US, I see the internet being not as lively since SOPA will lead to sites like forums, blogs, social sites, Wikipedia, Facebook, YouTube, and Google being heavily monitored and censored by the music, film, and entertainment industry for copyright crimes, and the monitoring will be extended to offline activities like burning DVDs, and sharing flash drives with friends.

All these future jobs related to the internet will also be gone.

Sadly, a lot of people don't know about SOPA except for forum and blog members, YouTubers, and people who use social media.

people will know about SOPA about a week from it's voting as news channels will cover the hell out of it.

I read many online news companies want SOPA to pass because they hate people uploading their news video to YouTube, and lose viewers on their TV channels.

Fox, CBS, CNN, ABC, and a lot of News channels also are owned or have a lot of friends who support SOPA, so the TV news might make SOPA sound like a good law, but Search engines, social networks, Bloggers, and forumers are trying to spread the word to the average person about how bad SOPA is to the internet.

I feel GoDaddy still secretly supports SOPA.

I believe their name was taken off the list, which is the official support. But yes, under the table they could be supporting it. But if found out they will most likely go out of business.
