Democratic majority leader Senator Harry Reid made the announcement this afternoon via Twitter, the microblogging service that was instrumental in getting the word out about the bills in the first place.
While the voting on the bills has been ... [ read the full article ]

When the government can already have citizens of another country arrested and extradited to the US for non-violent the actions of their website's users, then clearly SOPA and PIPA are the least of our worries..

"American freedom from censorship lives to fight another day."
Amazing what knowledge in the right hands can do. Let's not get complacent now. The fight must ever continue.

Just like all of the other SOPA/PIPA like bills that came before them, there will be another that tries its best to kill the internet. Or just like the sunset clause in the patriot bill the government/media may try to sneak SOPA/PIPA into law in some sort of sneaky fashion.
Dew you due the do?

Remember folks, this thing is POSTPONED...
Hollywood & the alphabet Nazi's have put a lot of money into this pig & they are expecting one hell of a bar-b-que. I can almost guarantee this isn't going away & will show back up within 90 days. Literally, just before the stink starts to leave the room.
These people aren't socially fit to visit a slaughter house. They'll give it another name, squeeze it here, pinch it there & attach it to some other long drawn out bill that has peanut butter and windshields to do with one another to get the thing to go through.
It is how they date rape the American (and now global) community. You've been warned.

Now we need to #StopH.R.1981 this bill is another one of Lamar Smiths bright ideas. The title of the bill once actually read is nothing compared to the details the bill has listed.
OH YES ... THERE WILL BE BLOOD.

OPEN-act:
"OPEN would give oversight to the International Trade Commission (ITC) instead of the Justice Department, focuses on foreign-based websites, includes an appeals process, and would apply only to websites that "willfully" promote copyright violation. SOPA and PIPA, in contrast, would enable content owners to take down an entire website, even if just one page on it carried infringing content, and imposed sanctions after accusations -- not requiring a conviction."
