"In a surprise move, Representative Eric Cantor(R-VA) announced that he will stop all action on SOPA, effectively killing the bill. This move was most likely due to the huge online protest and the White House threatening to veto the bill if it had passed. But don't celebrate yet. PIPA (the Senate's version of SOPA) is still up for consideration."


We're not out of the woods yet. Hell, I wouldnt be suprised if this bill resurfaced with some revisions making it even worse later on down the road when people "forget" about it.

I'm sure the blackout protest on January 18th has them scared too.

I wish we could organize better and use your buying power to make these kinds of demands. Nothing speaks as loud as NOT sending money to places where you dont want it.

Like OWS with BOFA, we should get a "hit list" and DO NOT PATRONIZE THESE COMPANIES.

I like that list of companies, I don't think I support any of them anyhow.

What Blackout are you reffering to?

The senate is reviving it but doesn't the house have to vote on it still?
