why do they do this shit? their law will apply in US only, if sopa succeed

Actually, PIPA will make it so it effects other countries as well, not only the United States. That is why when you go to youtube 3/4's of the videos are vlogs about why they don't like PIPA/SOPA and how it should be stopped.

It would censor the internet and would basically destroy all "Web 2.0" user-generated content on the net via blacklisting.
