The Pirate Bay is immune to SOPA

MrSeb writes: "In one of the greatest twists of irony, it turns out that The Pirate Bay, one of the largest outlets of copyright infringement, would be immune to the takedown tendrils of the imminently incoming Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Apparently the bill, as it stands, cannot target "domestic" sites — and in this case, domestic means any site that uses a US domain. The Pirate Bay uses an .org domain, which is owned by the Public Interest Registry, a nonprofit from Virginia, and thus it's immune. Presumably this would also count for copyright infringing sites on .com and .net domains too, which are owned by VeriSign."
