What everyone is forgetting is that although the crux of the bill deals with the banking end of things, the bill ALSO explicitly refers to sites that aid and abet, as being criminal, and this is what we do for a living.

So, even though there will be lots to interpret by the legal eagles, us US folks are out of luck from the get go. If you are overseas, a different story entirely.
