The only problem with that is that the Occupants themselves would set off the detectors as much as Congress would. I'm really getting tired of our legislators over here, though. They talk and talk and talk and never seem to accomplish one damn thing. Then they talk about whose fault it was that nothing was accomplished. For this reason alone I don't think SOPA has a chance of being passed, and I hope I'm right. I'm no fan of outright piracy, but legislation like SOPA isn't a reasonable way to combat it.
Also, I wouldn't worry too much about America controlling DNS.
It appears that Europe controls significantly more of the root servers than the US does. Heck, even Iceland gets one!
