Ironically, even if Tor becomes illegal, the effect of SOPA passing could be millions of people flocking to Tor (or other onion projects such as I2P). This would be a net positive for internet freedom: Tor would work better, using Tor would not be a suspicious activity, and the government would have to either arrest millions of people or suck it up.


Small technical correction: I2P uses Garlic routing, which is based on the same basic ideas, but is implemented very differently.
