It could, unless there was something in the EULA stating explicitly that they were allowed. And given Notch's history of bashing SOPA, there probably would be such a clause for Minecraft. So although this anti-piracy proposal would affect lots of things on the Internet, Minecraft would not be affected at all as long as Mojang (the holder of the copyright supposedly being protected) decides to not be involved with SOPA.
People really need to read the terms of use.... It specifically states that anything you create YOU OWN. People could literally sell texture packs and mods. http://www.minecraft.net/terms

I dunno if it would hold up in court. Right now, Minecraft has more of a polite "this is how we expect our players to behave" statement (at that link) rather than a serious EULA on a serious plate with serious cake. (I don't remember needing to click an "I agree to these terms" box when starting to play Minecraft.) But in any case, it does clearly show Mojang's intentions regarding user-generated content for Minecraft, so I'm sure that if SOPA passed they would make any necessary changes to avoid hurting the Minecraft community.

The Greymarch has ended.

I think everyone can handle 1 day without minecraft.net or minerealm. More supporters, more meaning.

Actually it's still possible to be passed.. They are going to review it and change it, then most likely implement it. It's far from over.

You didn't hear this from me, but their satellites can now get through single layers of tin foil. Add a second layer to your hat ASAP, before it's too late!
