No. This is not "SOPA-like" and the author should know this. The article is inaccurate and borderline linkbait. It's ISPs being forced to block sites. It's already happened with the main Irish ISP Eircom and the Pirate Bay, and it's becoming the norm in many Euorpean counties. While this is bad it is not like SOPA. SOPA targeted advertising and payment processors and would have made circumvention tools illegal. Nothing like this is happening in Ireland.
