"In the wake of the hugely successful blackout protests, the Protect IP Act has suffered a major blow to its credibility (yes, another one). The bill's hearing has been postponed until further notice, thanks to 'recent events' that saw it gain eighteen new opposing senators.
'In light of recent events, I have decided to postpone Tuesday's vote on the PROTECT IP Act,' said Sen. Harry Reid." (Jim Sterling)
"Smith said that he had taken criticism of SOPA into consideration and admitted that his war on piracy needs revisiting in a fresh way. That could be good or bad, depending on his next bright idea.
Only four days ago, SOPA had been postponed, but an angry Smith pulled it back into play when news of the blackout protests were heard. With the blackout pulling more support away from these bills, however, the validity of SOPA has been at an all-time low. The downfall of PIPA was apparently the last straw." (Jim Sterling)
