That's highly improbable according to some other recent articles.

The New York Times - Support For SOPA Growing Exponentially

faceblogger · 01-20-2012, 02:18 PM

I read it some minutes ago but did not take seriously since it's from mashable and the news was not found in any freshly reporting news sources.
Marshable wrote a lot about SOPA these days for traffic whoring.

This is a good point. It makes you wonder what does it matter when the government just does what they want anyways?

The House Judiciary Committee will postpone consideration of the legislation until there is wider agreement on a solution.

I did not search enough then! (just googled with the related terms. I should have visited to some sites at least!)

Ahh thanks!

While it may be dead for now these kinds of bills have a bad habit of coming up again after the noise dies down. I am sure the movie and music companies are still spending a lot of cash to try and push this through and are not ready to give up just yet.

JakeStratham · 01-20-2012, 02:31 PM

It will be back. It will have a different name, and contain compromises.

If anything, the state learned not to overreach. Scale down, set a basic framework, and build upon it over the next decade.

They will not abandon this legislation.

Yeah your right. It'll show up in some defense bill that it would be seen as political suicide to vote against. This is how it normally works.

-God- · 01-20-2012, 03:05 PM

Wait and see what happens, it'll be Facebook Beacon all over again.

Abandon it amongst the outrage, rebrand it, drip the same shit back in slowly, nobody knows, everyone remains ignorant and happy.

No denying that it will be back, but tech sector is going to start pumping a lot more money into lobbying to hopefully keep the most horrific parts out. I foresee something like OPEN passing within the next year or so though.

small victory, they will keep looking for ways to limit our freedom

They'll get it next year or the year after that, so enjoy your celebration now.

turbolapp · 01-20-2012, 04:11 PM

Jesus you guys are buzz kills. You do know that enjoying and appreciating these moments extends your lifespan, right?

No one is under any illusion that any of this is over. It will never be over. Just one more battle won in the war of inalienable rights.

Deliguy · 01-20-2012, 04:22 PM

I'm stoked Ron Wyden got a lot of love today. I've been a big supporter of his since he opposed estamp.
Incase any people doesn't remember the senate actually tried to impose a tax on sending emails back in the late 90s. They were so ignorant they actually thought since emails has the word mail in it, it would be possible to put a tax on a virtual message much like a stamp on a snail mail The only reason it didn't pass is because some experts came in at the 11th hour to let them know it wouldn't be technologically possible to enforce.

I remember this shit, I believe it was branded as a way to combat spam as well.

I don't really get why everyone was so up in arms over Italian soap in the first place. Who cares?

Anti-pornography bill won't protect children, but it could cripple the Internet -- Government Computer News

More recent article:

http://www.slashgear.com/sopa-sponso...-247-20210264/

Quote:

Senator Lamar Smith, lead sponsor of the currently dead SOPA bill you’ve heard so much about, has another bill in the works that uses Child Pornography as a screen to push through an amendment that’ll have your internet service provider tracking all of your financial dealings online. Each time you use a credit card, each time you read your bank statement, all of your IP information and your search history will be required by your ISP to be stored for 18 months at all times. This bill is H.R. 1981 and will have more dire consequences than SOPA or PIPA ever had the potential to have.

Yup, it's Lamar Smith again.

Horny kids will always find a way to access porn. Porn magazines and adult stores were around long before the internet.

Holy hell... Already?

Poor bastard must be blackmailed into getting something thru before his present (& obviously final) term is up. Clearly he's going to be voted off the hill with extreme prejudice.

Question is now: When this one is close to passing, would another organized blackout day happen? Would it work again?

The child-porn tie-in makes me doubt it would happen at all.
