Similarly if you are not make larges sums of money from your clip, using copyright music in the background of your youtube video is not really piracy (can you imaging the proponents of SOPA kicking the door down of a primary school, because the class was using copyright music in a class production? ). I agree that there are issues with the current bill, the idea of being able to just suspend a site first upon the complaint of piracy, and then investigate if the claim was valid or not is an issue, the fact that you can be held responsible for things posted by the general online public (who are not accountable to you) is a problem. But unfortunately piracy is also a problem.
