      If it has a .com registration, it’s subject to sopa.
      Any links to it from the various search engines (google, yahoo, bing, etc), those links could be blocked.

      Yes.

      It will effect the whole internet.

      So should a thief in Australia steal copyrighted material, they will face trouble.

      If SOPA/PIPA law passes it will affect everywhere that has internet.

      Anything that looks like its been ¨copyrighted¨ well be blocked by the government no matter what it is.

      P.S. I use copyrighted very lightly cause people will sue for anything plus I am sure the government is full of trolls that will make something out of nothing.
