So would this be akin to what China have now with the Great Firewall of China?
Kind of.
ISP's would have to block sites that infringe on the SOPA.
At the same time, say for this site for example, someone could say that "Escape to the Movies" infringes on their copyright of their movie even though its used under the "Fair Use" clause.
Now, whether or not The Escapist in total would be blocked or if just Escape to the Movies [or any other show here that uses material "Fairly". Essentially, anyone who has a copyright on anything would be able to directly go hand have a website shutdown/blocked without having to go through court.
Dont get me started on deep packet scanning either, but in short, if SOPA passes into law, say goodbye to the internet as we know it.
