SOPA is in a COMA, for now

This is breaking news. I will update you if more info becomes available…

Many sites are reporting that SOPA is dead because the bill has been put on hold by the Texas Congressman, Lamar Smith, who started it. I won’t go that far. SOPA is in a coma, thanks to all the internet protests. But it can be revived at anytime. So keep an eye on it, hopefully soon we can pull the plug for good.

Smith said in an interview with Reuters “I have heard from the critics and I take seriously their concerns regarding proposed legislation to address the problem of online piracy,” “It is clear that we need to revisit the approach on how best to address the problem of foreign thieves that steal and sell American inventions and products,”

NL- really good info on this site about all politicians, but here is Smith’s link http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cid=N00001811&cycle=2012
