The sponsor of SOPA has pulled the bill. That means it is, for now, officially dead. You can read all about it here.
YAY! lol I don't think this would of ever been brought into place anyways and so many other ways to get around it.
That is what I am worried about myself, a possible revision of it to attempt to get it pushed through again. Some of these politicians will just not stop to try to control the internet But that just means that we will have to keep fighting it
Its not a problem for guy behind SOPA to pull it out. After all he is sponsoring other articles he can copypaste SOPA into and try again. Just wait for it, its matter of time when you hear about unfreezed PCIPA.
Congress is simply going to wait until the hype dies down, people become under the impression that it's infinitely dead, and then quietly pass it, only for us to find out after the fact. The fact is that as a whole, we Americans are rather uninformed. The bill was introduced in October (bet'cha didn't know that!)... why is this hype only happening now, three months later? That just goes to show how out of the loop and unconcerned we are.
He already said it will be brought back, supposedly with some changes. I agree with Nick that they'll slip it through once they think we forgot about it.
PIPA and SOPA are only decoys so they can silently slip ACTA through. ACTA is going to be signed very soon sadly and there has been no uproar about it.
I agree with AWS and Nick, it'll get passed more than likely when they find something that we do want to pass, it'll be tacked on. It's all in the fine print that no one reads.
Yes and that means they are not representing the people.They represent something else more sinister,secretive and corrupt.
Not surprised at all.I have known for a while that this is going on.I even have a small political forum that looks at it this way. What is surprising that late in the game are how many people are not seeing it.It is now so naked with this SOPA attempt.That corrupt people are not worroed about it. Revulutionary fervor for the 1st amendment is weak.
That's not surprising, you have one hand that doesn't want to rock the boat while the other goes on vacation. It's the era of entitlement. That is what everyone if focused on, me me me or I I I. Not making smarter laws, lets just go ahead and pass the one's "I" like. So your either the bug or the windshield.
Nick, that's the understatemnt of the year candidate. How did so many Americans fall asleep at the swtich on the National Defense Authorization Act? And why would a President who campaigned saying he would eliminate the Patriot Act sign NDAA with a clear conscience?
