if not, what opposition to such proposed bills would be most effective?

It will end with a boot,
kicking you in the groin, forever.
Oh yeah, I signed that thing. I'm glad someone posted it here, even though the title of this thread sounds more like something that retardo-noob might post.
On the other hand, it would make it really easy to troll sites out of existence.
ETA: In other news, how do we get around this?
I don't know how, but I'd beinterested in hearing.
Posting so i can find link tomorrow
not gonna... gotta spread this.

Here's a thing that will send a pre written letter to your local congressman. DO THE THING.
LOTS of talk about SOPA on HackerNews, btw:

Microsoft, Apple and 27 other tech companies backing SOPA indirectly (http://thenextweb.com/insider/2011/11/17/which-tech-companies-back-sopa-microsoft-apple-and-27-others/)
Matt Cunts of Google fame about progress on SOPA:

Reasonable alternative to a batshit law? In MY government?!
Wow, that proposed policy actually, like, makes sense and junk. And congress is considering it. Suddenly, I feel as if I understand the world even less than I did a moment ago.

Never fear, they've got something exponentially evil and twisted to counter this. I don't have (and don't want to look for, it's too depressing and upsetting) links, but they've passed a thing in the senate where they can suspend habeus corpus.
So all is right with the world. :x
