If the people making the laws understood how the internet works, they wouldn't be creating stuff like SOPA. They'll be pushing the "see how evil these copyright infringing people are? we need laws to take them out" angle to push more laws that don't work.
(Yes, this is not directly related to specific laws (SOPA/PIPA) designed to take down piracy sites, but using laws to take down a piracy site IS what happened here. The DDoS attack was in retaliation for a site being taken down. Or as someone put it: "REVENGE!")
