From Mashable:
Lamar Smith, the chief sponsor of SOPA, said on Friday that he is pulling the bill “until there is wider agreement on a solution.â€
“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.â€
Congrats, everyone. Now it’s time for the hard job of crafting new legislation that stops piracy while protecting the integrity and freedom of the Internet.
What should you do with sopaisdead.com ? I think it’s beautiful just the way it is.
I’d say leave it as a reminder of when ‘They’ tried to take the Internet from ‘Us’.
what we need is the keep internet open act KIOA 🙂
” how best to address the problem of foreign thieves that steal and sell American inventions and products.”

it’s like with porn. Silly congressman say that pornography from other countries brainwashes oue children and is an attack on the good american values.
Oh yeah they forgot to mention that 90% of the porno comes from the US.
Idiot congressist. Coments like that make other nation hates americans. This is why we will always fight for freedom !!!!
