Hi there Azber Here,
Good News! Sopa And Pipa Is Postponed! ,
Great news -- this morning, Congressional leaders announced that votes on both the Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT IP Act have been postponed!
Both SOPA and PIPA have been shelved, and “no further action” will be taken until a general consensus has been made, and compromises sought.
The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), and the PROTECT-IP Act, known as PIPA, have both been postponed from being voted on in the House and Senate respectively.
More than 13 million people spoke out against these disastrous pieces of legislation.
By the numbers: over 75,000 websites were blacked out during Wednesday’s online protest, with 160 million people seeing Wikipedia’s blacked out pages alone. 4.5 million people signed Google’s anti-SOPA petition, and an estimated 2–4 million anti-SOPA and PIPA messages were tweeted.
This isn’t Washington losing. This is Washington listening to the people that it represents. The delay of any action on SOPA and PIPA is a victory for us all.
-Nice Work Everyone! :)
-Your Friend Azber.
