In a surprise move today, 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 several things. One of those things is that SOPA and PIPA met huge online protest against the bills. Another reason would be that the White House threatened to veto the bill if it had passed. However, it isn’t quite time yet to celebrate, as PIPA(the Senate’s version of SOPA) is still up for consideration.

Done and done – Thank you. I may actually get some work done tomorrow -as long as the US Census doesn’t protest – then I am screwed :-)

So does this mean we don’t have to put the Stop SOPA on our posts tomorrow? I hope so – this bill scared the crap out of me.
Going now to research PIPA.
