Yeah. The reason why everybody says "fan sites are in danger" is because in many fan sites, torrent links and blatant copyright violations (like every single frame extracted into a 50 GB file) are rampant.LN is above that mess.

That said, I still think that lawsuits are MUCH MUCH MUCH better than blocking, since blocking would assume presumption of guilt. If a site was blocked and it was innocent, sure it can sue the MPAA and get itself unblocked, but that is putting the burden of proof on the site, not on the MPAA, which is illegal in the US jurisdiction.

Although one of the largest problems with SOPA is that websites shall be blocked within 7 days of the point of an accusation, and the block isn't released until the site has been proved innocent. It's also supposed to cut all U.S. based financial services (ads, paypal, etc.) from the site.
