What annoys me to no end is that the counter-argument to the "Google is smart enough to build it" canard is legal, not technological. Child porn is illegal in this country, full stop. If it exists, it's prosecutable. An MP3 of a Justin Bieber song isn't necessarily illegal, and determining whether a particular copy is legal requires information that is not readily available for financial security reasons. So nobody can build a detector, regardless of how smart they are.

Which is exactly the point of SOPA...since we can't stop the flow of copyrighted media on the internet, we can't have the internet.
