how come the thread title says "no surprise," but the article's first sentence says "in a surprise move?"

someone is lying to us; we need to get to the bottom of this ASAP

Don't forget about PIPA.

Don't forget about PIPA.

I'm pretty sure the House has to approve it too.

Don't forget about PIPA.

PIPA is less well known than SOPA, but the provisions are basicly the same. It still includes the same DNS blocking and censoring system that the original SOPA did, just without the SOPA name. There are around 40 co-sponsors of the bill in the Senate so far, with no word on how many senators support the bill in addition to that. There will most likely need to be 60 votes in the Senate in order to invoke cloture and end an almost guaranteed filibuster.

One of those things is that SOPA and PIPA met huge online protest against the bills.

that one time I tried adding my name to one of the protesting petition things actually mattered somewhat <3
