I can't see SOPA/PIPA directly affecting elementary. We hardly have
any user-posted content on the website, and the one we have tends to
be freely licensed. We do rely on external services like imagebin,
pastebin, etc, but that's not vital and we could probably host
something similar ourselves. Fortunately, SOPA/PIPA don't seem to
allow boundless patent abuse [yet], so Apple and Microsoft's puppet
consorciums won't be able to instantly shut us down either, the best
thing they can do is not mentioning us (like they do with WINE).
So I'd rather not tie it into elementary and instead present it as
being out of our scope and not affecting us directly, but crippling
the overall UX.
