Not my place to argue about this, there's a new generation with their iThings and clouds and social networks it's up to them if they really want to fix the system.
Don't pussy out on the question. Unless you're actually posting this from your deathbed.

Nope, never did. Here's some advice:

Nope, the email explicitly said dropped. I knew about the delay, they are currently now postponed indefinitely. Unless I'm completely misunderstanding this.

Yeah--- I just saw Dodd on MSNBC explaining that they were going to go "back to the drawing board" and try to include the tech companies in drafting legislation this time.

Yeah, even if SOPA and PIPA go back to the drawing board lobbyists are still going to want something written and passed to go along with the Digital Millennium Act we already have. Another one called OPEN has been worked on and still has some problems but fixes a lot of what was wrong with SOPA and PIPA. I wonder if we'll be hearing about that soon.

Personally I really do wonder what a good and effective anti-piracy bill that doesn't step on the toes of legitimate internet users would look like.

Would it even be possible?
