I disagree. The younger population is far more technical than the current older population. Granted I live in a tech-y city (Seattle), and a lot of my friends are "internet savvy," but everyone I know that is under 35 torrents stuff. Simply making it harder to get to web sites will not stop "non-techy people" from pirating. Napster seemed to do really well and it didn't NEED DNS.
Torrents are not what I would consider a nerdy way of sharing files - and have some pretty straightforward DNS vulnerabilities. The first target of SOPA will be every worthwhile Torrent Search engine. Those sites will be taken down overnight.
Moving to static IP addresses puts the owner of that RIR block in jeopardy.
Napster was sued out of existence, went bankrupt, and shut down.
If SOPA passes, it will be a multi-billion dollar wealth transfer from the Internet Industry, and our personal freedoms, to the Entertainment industry. It will be effective in at at least two (Negatively impacting our freedoms, and the Internet Industry) - remains to be seen if it will benefit the Entertainment Industry.
