SOPA is DEAD!

http://mashable.com/2012/01/20/sopa-...th-pulls-bill/

Quote:
Lamar Smith, the chief sponsor of SOPA, said on Friday that he is pulling the bill “until there is wider agreement on a solution.”

“I have heard from the critics and I take seriously their concerns regarding proposed legislation to address the problem of online piracy,” Smith (R-Texas) said. “It is clear that we need to revisit the approach on how best to address the problem of foreign thieves that steal and sell American inventions and products.”
Clearly, Greenie and I are to thank for this, since we very bravely shut down a couple of link lists in protest of SOPA.

You're welcome, America.
