What do you suppose Jimbo's angle is here; that the bill is a threat to plagiarists?
No, to copyright infringers, which Commons is chock full of. It's a virtual certainty that Commons would be shut down by a SOPA complaint within weeks of the bill becoming law, and Wikipedia itself not long after that. Wikipedia has long relied on the safe harbor provisions of the DMCA and copyright practice generally, and SOPA eradicates those almost entirely.
