Which is why hitting the advertisers on the site makes more sense. Piracy is about traffic, it's got nothing to do with sharing or freeing up the Internet or what ever, that's the side line. Piracy exists because traffic pays for it. Take out the paymasters and the sites come down. Pirate-bay made millions on selling adverts.
Take out the adverts and the processors, then the sites are running at a loss.
If SOPA doesn't work, something else will come in. Pirates are in the cross hairs, they will dodge a few bullets and get smashed by a cruise missile.

Exactly. Not legislating because you cannot be sure that the problem will be completely eradicated is patent nonsense.
I cannot think of many laws that are 100% successful in removing a problem completely. That is not the point.
The point is that offenders are punished and stopped from gaining from the crime wherever possible.
Or shall we all just carry on trying to adapt to a lawless situation where adapting actually means joining in the free for all.

But many use this excuse to argue against the law. Pointless argument because of what you pointed out.
