The article on NYtimes.com, written by Paul Kedrosky, discusses the ineffective approach of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) towards regulating piracy on the internet.

Kedrosky proposes using existing law and trade commissions to combat ad networks, banks, payment houses, and affiliate programs that sponsor illegal content.
