Online pirating of copyrighted content is a serious problem, but the "solution" proposed by SOPA/PIPA is draconian. DNS blocking is part of how China enforces its Great Firewall and how Iran attempted to suppress calls for mass protest on Twitter. Is that the kind of behavior our great country would like to emulate?
There are far more elegant ways of protecting intellectual property and copyrighted content, including more sophisticated encryption techniques and digital watermarking. The latter can be inserted into music and video such that the watermark is only perceptible if the media is decoded with an unapproved/unofficial decoder. The studios don't go this way because it would actually require investment and research, even though the final solutions would be far more sustainable.
To give the issue a simple analogy: If I have a pest problem in my house, where mice are stealing my food or something, I don't call an exterminator to come and board up all the doors, windows, and holes into my house. Sure, that would solve the pest problem, but it also obviously creates much bigger problems.
