In the same day that the Protect IP Act (PIPA) was postponed, Rep. Lamar Smith has decided to once again shelve the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). This is the second time Smith has decided to shelve the highly unpopular bill.
Smith has responded to his latest actions with the bill, saying that he had taken the criticism of SOPA and admitted that the fight against piracy needs to be rethought.
With blackout protests across the internet and PIPA being postponed, it is becoming clearer that SOPA may not have much of a future. But with filesharing site Megaupload being pulled yesterday without either legislation being passed, it is also becoming clear that those protesting SOPA must not back down.
