SOPA WAS A SMOKESCREEN!

Maybe I'm missing something but how, exactly, to they plan to implement this?
Credit cards transactions secured via SSL are encrypted end-to-end. The ISP can't listen in without termination the SSL connection and restarting it... and if they did that, your browser would throw up an error.
Also - if you were doing something dodgy, wouldn't you just use a VPN? Or are they planning to outlaw encryption too?
Anyone remember the Clipper chip?

These laws aren't made to stop crime. They are made to control people, specifically anyone using the internet to circumvent the financial system.
Without crime, there is no need for police. The government has to criminalize lawful activity as society becomes less criminal, in order to justify it's existence.
I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, as much as every Cop knows when crime goes away, so does his job and pension. The Drug War is a good example of something that will never stop drug use, but will always keep money flowing to law enforcement and prisons.
Anyone who trusts (not saying you do) anything coming out of government is either a fool or naive or both. Government is the master, not the servant.
Oh, we're getting closer. Any day now.
Like to hear this explanation too. Sounds impossible but one could assume they might just be talking about unencrypted traffic for now?
