I wonder if the Cart & Buggy Manufactures Association lobbied this hard to get the automobile regulated back in the day. Make no bones about it, the old copyright laws are a pre-digital relic.
The automobile makers such as General Motors worked hard back in the first half of the 20th century to replace working street trolleys and electric trains with buses that they were manufacturing. Industries will fight dirty to benefit themselves.

I thought that you could make one archive copy. How can one even backup his OS if not?

Let the RIAA go to a judge, with probable cause, and get a COURT ORDER to take a site off the US DNS registry.
If it keeps coming through on IP addresses ONSHORE, arrest and prosecute the perps. If offshore, make it a diplomatic/international crime issue.

This is what we can eventually expect:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/dec/12/chinese-men-detained-internet-rumour
Police in central China have detained two men for spreading a rumour online that thousands of police were called out to guard a wedding, state media reported, as the country increases scrutiny of the internet.
Police have detained the two men "for a total of five days in accordance with relevant laws", Xinhua said.
The detention comes after a stream of warnings in state media that has shown Beijing is nervous about the internet, particularly a booming microblogging site called Weibo, and its potential to undermine censorship.
China has repeatedly criticised microblogs for irresponsibility in spreading what it calls unfounded rumours.

Worse, SOPA would
prohibit browser companies from incorporating effective anti-fraud measures into their software.
Quick Summation: One criminal technique is to put up fake sites to impersonate banks, etc. In order to direct people to the fake site, they hide the IP address of the real site. Browsers can defeat this trick by continuing to search for another DNS server to find the correct IP address data.
However, under SOPA, it would be illegal to code browsers to do that, because the method could be used to circumvent SOPA's mandated Great Firewall of America.

[Lamar Smith's] faith is listed as "Christian Scientist" His actual faith is in the "Almighty State", as evidenced by his introduction of this Orwellian garbage.
