If they want it to pass no problem they just have to find some ridiculous way of actually making it about the children in which case its as good as passed because using the children as shields to pass a stupid laws always works.
I still believe it can be fought, putting anime fans asside, lots of people download and stream video online and they're not going to be trilled about this.
My final observation, they'll try with this and like Holy Knight said they'll probably make revised versions until it passes. It doesn't matter what version gets passed, once its approved they'll be able to push further after that because "Why not, its already passed, so what's a few additions?". Hey, its not like its the first time we see stuff like this happen.
They should at least be honest and change the title of the bill from "The Stop Online Piracy Act" to the "Stop Online Act".
