The Facebook Washington DC page has already posted its reaction to the news that SOPA has been killed.
We are relieved that Congress has recognized the serious damage the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) could cause to the Internet and are pleased that congressional leaders have decided not to move forward on these bills. We want to thank the millions of Facebook users who shared their views with us, with members of Congress, and with their friends and families on this important issue, and who changed the direction of this harmful legislation. We appreciate that lawmakers have listened to our community’s concerns, and we stand ready to work with them on solutions to piracy and copyright infringement that will not chill free expression or threaten the economic growth and innovation the Internet provides. You can read more about Facebook’s view on this legislation by clicking the “Anti-Piracy Bills” tab on the left side of the Facebook Washington DC page.
Well said.
Just two days after an internet wide protest it seems that SOPA may once and for all be legitimately gone (for now). The bill had been postponed a few times but now it seems that it will not be back at all, at least in its current form.








Unfortunately the SOPA legislation has not gone away and we still need to be vigilant in our public protests to ensure that the internet as we know it isn’t handed over to corporate control and put on life support. On January 18, 2012 Reddit will be blacking out its site from 8am-8pm EST to show their support for SOPA protestors.
I certainly hope that Verizon is the next company to start feeling the wrath of the 99% as people en masse begin the process of transferring their accounts away from this greedy behemoth.

For Ms. Sahadi’s sake I’ve taken the time to give her a brief history lesson on income tax in America.
